For Princess Sunshine

        "If I Must Wait"

If I must wait ...
    Then let it be in the forbidding winter
    When Nature unfolds her frozen blankets
    And the blustery winds crackle at life's energies.

If I must wait ...
    Allow me to revel in our memories
    With tears of joy and chuckles of melancholy
    Defying the doubters while honoring the force of friendship.

If I must wait ...
    Use the padded feet and feathered wings
    Of the forest families to send me whispers
    Of our love, not lost, but sequestered into dormancy.

If I must wait ...
    Place my heart of gold upon you bosom
    Listen through amber hearts to my passionate laments
    Cast kisses across society's upheaval into my cell of solitude.

If I must wait ...
    Dance with me in your dreams
    Think of me every minute of every day
    As I will you - teasing and tormenting my heart's anguish.

If I must wait ...
    Know that I love you more than life itself
    And that I am forever waiting at your bridge's end
    With open arms and songs from deep within my soul.

And when you come ...
    I shall hug you into reeling rapture
    And taste, again, the nectar of ecstasy on your lips
    And know that we are one ... forevermore.

*Jeremy Steel reads the poem, spits in disgust and plunges a dagger through middle of it and leaves*

*walks into the Inn, tired, disorientated, angry. The usual* She looks around and stumbles across this , eyes widening, a blush forming over her face, She turns tail and runs as fast as she can away , tripping over about three chairs and two drunks doing so*
