The Elegance of Ardour

A collection of thoughts and dreams in poetic verse.

Cherry

Dancing with Gypsies

I love you to distraction, my words they tell you so, but not my actions. You are my goddess, my honeysuckle, the sweet breath of all my days, how to tell you I love you, so many, many ways.

Alunagh's Well

Once I recall there was a time when gentle hearts the world did rule, when equal voice was given to the king and the fool.

Beauty is a Beast

Beauty is a beast, it haunts me nightly, stalking me in the shadows of my boudoir, from beyond the far reaches of the midnight hour.

Bright Riddler

Bright riddler, thou whom hast led me in this dance for hour upon hour, in spring rain or winter shower, I have a word for thine ear alone.
