Lady come into the garden,
'mid the roses wet with dew.
He awaits, impatient, ardent,
singing of his love for you.

There in nights' ethereal
grandeur,
pledge the feelings of the heart.
Let the soul express the wonder
which thy union does impart.

Give to him thy love, to cherish,
e'en the dawn doth disarray.
On the morrow joy will perish~
love shall leave thee, come the day.

~~Hear the call to arms ascending
o'er the ramparts of the tower~
All thy love- thy heart, defending.
Fate fulfills his final hour.

Fantasy

Oh, beauty, dost
thou know the pain?
Thy tender tears
are spilt in vain.
His song, so sweet,
captured thine heart~
now, owning this,
he shall depart,
to woo and win another.

His minstrel tales
so aptly told,
of love and passion,
pure as gold.
His fickle heart
construes no wrong~
Thee waiteth vainly
for his song~
the while he seeks another.

Dream on, oh lady,
seek thy heart
far beyond the
distant hills.
In sleep may all
thy care depart,
thee shall find
he loves thee still.

May slumber give
thy love a voice,
His song shall
fly on silver wings.
Thee pleases him~
thou may rejoice~
for on this night
the minstrel sings.

Fantasy

Oh Lady, thou may freely rest.
Dream, for thou dost know thy
lover.
Thou hast finally won thy quest,
all this joy, thou shalt discover.
Lady sing~ for loves' entreating
does this errant soul way-lay.
Sing for hearts so surely beating,
unified in love this day.

~Encased In Silver~

In the stillness of the morning,
came she to the chamber door.
Full of love and sweet belonging,
misty memories of yore.

Dare she enter in the chamber?
Will he know she came to seek
for a sign he would remember,
comfort in her hours, bleak.

Tis' no beauty in the parting~
Love will live, or love will die,
Though the empty feeling starting,
caused this need to satisfy.

Just a sign, to calm or still her,
that he would return someday.
One dried rose, encased in silver,
left to take the pain away.

Scented rose, encased in silver~
He would come another day~

The Lady sings her saddest song
before the light of quickened day.
She sings of all her dreams gone
wrong,
of how her true love sailed away.

She gave her heart and all her
dreams,
to him, the one of whom she sings.
He was her only joy, it seems,
she lives the tears tomorrow brings.

Weep Lady, for the sad refrain
will linger on, its' timeless chord
imbues thy faithful heart with pain.
Thy patience has a sad reward.

Fantasy

Here, my lady, in the darkness
weep for hope that long-since died.
Cleanse the soul of pain and sadness,
cast away a love denied.

Find the way of least encumbrance,
for this loss is but a dream.
Do not tarry in remembrance.
Choose a new path, fresh and clean.

Weep for lost love~ seek another,
Love awaits thee, come the dawn.
He and thee shall find each other.
Love~ I sing to thee my song~

Star-crossed

So, my lady, thee hast traveled
through this life for many years.
Watching many dreams unraveled,
lived through happiness and tears.

Never did thy mind discover
all the beauty love could bring,
and, too late, thee met thy lover~
the only one who made thee sing.

Now thy time is almost ended,
both must go thy separate ways.
He to all his fate intended~
Thee to memories of thy days.

~Lady~

In a dream she did discover
Passion of an ardent lover.
A need explicit to the moment~
arousing feelings lying dormant.

Together through this dream,
enchanted,
finding love they both had wanted.
A carousel of passions' fire~
haunting love~ sustained desire~

Exquisite pain of joyful yearning,
sets the mind and body burning.
There would never be another~
touch eternal~ brands forever.
