By window light the Lady waits
and gazes o'er the vale
The scene is set in days of Kingdom's reign
Her eyes are searching for the steed
that carries one she loves
Whilst tears are falling down like lover's rain...

The Lady's hand is not her own
Her destiny is fixed
A Kingly sum was paid her sire at birth
For in the days of Camelot
When power ruled the land
A Lady measured gold against her worth...

Her duty known and understood
she grew within it's cage
From child to woman, pure of heart and mind
The one to whom her hand belonged
was counting to the hour
and relishing the thoughts of what he'd find...

For he was known throughout the land
as spawned of evil's lust
More ancient than the local gentry knew
The maiden that was promised would provide
him with the heirs
His power, once again, unmatched by few...

Within her soul, the Lady knew her life
was not as seen
Her destiny was waiting past the gates
But no one knew that through the years
her heart she'd given to
a valiant Knight, one chosen by her fates...

She'd never been alone with him
and only once he'd spoke
His voice proclaimed allegiance to her care
His gaze told all that words could not
His kiss embraced her hand
Her smile told him that love was waiting there...

Alas, but time was running out
Her freedom at an end
Within the morrow, banns would be exchanged
Too soon the Lady would become enslaved
and forced to live
Within the castle walls, as thus arranged...

These thoughts of hopeless dread o'ertook her
by the window's light
She almost didn't hear the drumming beat
Of stallion hooves
or quiet whispers from beloved lips
As through the window, hers they reached to meet...

He drew her safely to him
carried her to waiting steed
Then like the wind they rode for distant shores
And as I walk these meadows I can almost feel them near
Sending love from Camelot
forevermore...

Ahh how I love the tales of Camelot!
And you dear Lady have penned a masterpiece here.
Into my library with this keeper!

Thank you Nancy, and I always loved tales of Knights, castles, and Kingdoms!!!  I've had the opportunities to walk within castle walls here in the UK, and it always ends up in a story!!  Thank you again!!!  ~S~

Perhaps this will call Lady Ollyne out,
or Lady in White, to join you
in poetic recollection
of those winsome, wanton days...

Thank you, Sunny....

(smiles) Oh Sunnyone, I love the wonderful stories of Camelot, sweet friend, this made me cry a little because I always have gorgeous dreams of my mystery dream girl that I long to meet and I always think of her and imagine if she is yearning for me so much and I just hate to imagine her crying for me! (big hugggssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sunnyone, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Dry those tears, my little brother, as your special dream girl is smiling when she imagines you!  She sees your loving face, and all of your heart in your eyes, when she closes hers.  Somewhere she is knowing that Destiny will join you, and the wait will have been worthwhile.....~S~

See this is why I workout!! So when my knight shows up he can carry me off without too much strain!!

Beautifully written!
