“M’lady...the iron is hot upon the hearth as I wait the setting moon. For, of thee I stir in hobbled heat, restless to quell this yearn that smolders within.....come, share my warmth.” The missive had arrived, by messenger the lad, disheveled, upon a horse, wrought with froth from the mad ride, a maid had brought it to her now, it fluttered in her hand, with life he had said, he would let her know when to quit this castle for his, but he did not know of her father's health he could not know, this was not the time. she reads.. ”A hunger to dine upon softness of flesh rising before the wane...to savor the delicate fragrance of a rose, prior to the summer’s wilt...All this M’lady, all this....and more...await thee.. beyond the meadow green…” oh, to go to him, to escape the confines, but her father, her poor father, so close to death, and so against her love, whose heart must break before love might be hers? She continues to read... ”Soon...dawn tears the still blanket of night my love. Soon I shall bask the glow, yes ... soon I shall. As silken light shall grace the window’s sill, a gentle breeze will stir the sash... Then, only then... shall thy dreams, born anew...hold me in thy sight.” Tears began to stain the page ink smearing like a heart's quick bleed where was her quill, her ink, the salt? Where, was her heart, indeed? With him. Oh, with him, who melt the winter's snow him, for whom the flow'rs burst oh, Him, from whence her breath would come Him, for whom she'd walk the earth. Beyond the door, the old man called, "Dear Heart, bring me my brew," and stopp'd she was, from thinking more and stooped, she rose to fetch his needs for her father had raised her alone in hand no wife was by his side and alone, for she was his seed. |

" Tears began to stain the page ink smearing like a heart's bleed where was her quill, her ink, the salt? Where, indeed, was her heart. With him. Oh, with him, who melt the winter's snow him, for whom the flow'rs burst oh, Him, from whence her breath would come Him, for whom she'd walk the earth." this should come with a warning....tissue alert!

What say you, Good Magnus... shall we delight the Cap'n with yet another missive? Do you suppose your white horse is rested enough to make the journey? |

Well kids...you do fine work. Don't stop. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |
