Enchanted

Here’s some folklore fitting for the day. Not really a love story, but more of an enchantment. 
True Thomas sat on Huntley bank,
And he beheld a lady gay;
A lady that was brisk and bold,
Come riding o’er the ferny brae.
Her skirt was of the grass green silk,
Her mantle of the velvet fine;
At every lock of her [...]

Carry Me

Sleep eludes me and so the dreams that come with it, dreams that come and cover me like a soft blanket, a warm and quiet place. I need them now to carry me to that place, away from everything but you. Perhaps tonight with the mystical energy of Beltane and the full moon [...]

Morning Thoughts

It’s almost morning here. Soon the sun will be pushing the night away and I will head home to bed. It’s crazy working these hours, as I love both the night and the day. I’m wondering where you are today, and what your day will bring. Will you be in your garden, or are you [...]

A Sad Tale of Love

Here is a sad but true story, one I had never heard.   I’ll see if I can’t find a happy ending next time.
‘Heloise and Abelard’ is one of history’s most passionate and romantic true love stories. The nine hundred year old love affair of the 12th century philosopher and theologian and his student Heloise continues to [...]

Words

Forgive me tonight, as I can’t think of anything beautiful to write.  Still, you rest in my heart, as you do every minute of every day.  Words, not poetic, fall from my heart, words not destined for pages of long ago poems, but those words are heartfelt.
Some would call this love I hold in my [...]

More Dreams

You were in my dreams again last night.  You had moved into my home, at least it was my home in the dream.  You were sleeping, and I remember I  watched you sleep, content with that, not wanting anyone to disturb you.  Deep down I wanted to curl up next to you, my head nestled [...]

Dried Rose Petals

Love letters, written long ago, put away for safekeeping, sit undiscovered, the parchment yellowed from time, the rose petals dried.  The words carry from this place, drifting through time, not bound by the paper, but only by the heart.  They continue to speak, but only to  those for whom the words were written.
Someone may find [...]

Remembering

Sometimes I guess you have to try and open those doors, those ones that linger in your mind as distant memories of something.  Another poster suggested I try and sketch out the house I see in these brief glimpses I am given.
While my skills in the visual arts are less than stellar, I do have [...]

Tonight Under the Night Sky

Tonight, when I sit out under the stars, I will be thinking of you.  The moon will hear the words I say, the blessings I send, and the wishes I hold in my heart, not only for me, but for you.  I will send these things to you in the soft darkness of  night, along [...]
