Virginal Love
Who is she who can know my sorrow?

The Invitational Hand
Have you ever met the girl with the invitational handt? Her soul flows from her in a joyous stream and when you meet her, I promise that you want to run to her, stretch out your arm, and fill your little cup from her running waters.

And the festive lights flickering in the fire’s gracious sight;
A tree in living room bedecked like a royal crown

And merry laughs of Christmasing are joyous, without care.
A sound sounds forth in sparkling song
Of triumph, hark the king who rights all wrongs;

A song that harks, harks an uncle, him whose loved the best.

In the nook of the cape
And the wind whips my dress
It batters and beats
Its paltry attacks

A Queen’s Marriage - Part 2
Today, she sat upon her throne as upon a rock of refuge in the ocean, assailed by the pounding waves of questions and looks and simpers, and carefully, stoically, she kept her gaze straight ahead, looking neither to the right, nor to the left, nor into the eyes of any person.
A Queen’s Marriage - Part 1
She looked out her window at the courtiers filing past below, two-and-two: the wives flirting with the bachelors, the husbands ignoring their women in favor of business, and all their children neglected at home, and she shuddered. No, it was not to them she wished to show her splendor.
I apologize, but the search engine can be a bit finicky. First try usually gets you a ‘no results’ message, but just push that enter button again, and what you’re looking for should pop up. Happy Reading!
