She flung open the grand balcony windows
the balmy night seemingly added to her despair
tears fell softly down upon ivory cheeks
she no longer his love, his lady fair.

Sounds of hoof beats filled the air
on mounted stead he galloped away
pain flowed in flooding her soul
her heart cried, begging him to stay.

In reflection she looked over yon garden
where so oft' they walked hand in hand
it's beauty she could no longer see
this seeming to be a final reprimand.

The silvery moon slid behind the clouds
the eve no longer illuminated by Luna’s light
she sat down at the mahogany writing desk
but it was futile, for she could not write.

With delicate hand she turned back the quilt
of her favorite antique Victorian bed
and she fluffed the lace-trimmed pillows
then lay down to rest her weary head.

Her heart would not grant her the peace
praying dreams to come before the morrow
alas though, sleep was not meant to be
in this night full of loves sweet sorrow.

{repost series 10-20-01}

seek the flame within yourself
and let your soul be cleansed by
the fire of love. Axel Ekenstierna

Well Done!!!!!!

There is no decent place to stand in a massacre...but if a woman takes your hand, then go and stand with her.
