DIRGE FOR A KING

Irresistible urge to plant a kiss
upon those sensuous pallid lips,
while listening to the priest reminisce
about a life in constant eclipse.

Oh why did he die at the very beginning
of the penultimate episode?
I wanted him there to the end and winning
the battle with his cousin - that toad!

From silver spoon that ushered him in
to the Reaper's final swathe,
he's been here buried under my skin -
in his essence I constantly bathe.

So what comes next for Ryan Gage
now Louis is dead and gone?
Wish I had courage to slip backstage
and interrogate his hangers-on.

And what on earth will become of me
now The Musketeers is finished?
Guess I'll be reduced to the epitome
of dreamer with all hope diminished. ;)


I am taking some time off now, as I have just begun a new college course. 
The workload is huge, so I fear I won't be writing much over the next few months.:/
However, I will post and visit you as often as I can.

Wishing you all a great summer (well, the rest of it!).:))
I will miss you all...xoxoxo

    1. Oh thank you, dearest Victoria...so much!
      This was just a little tongue-in-cheek one for a change (I thought maybe I'd been getting a bit too serious recently LOL)

      Thank you, yes, the course is going well so far. The work is demanding, but I'm really enjoying it.
      I am really missing everyone though...there is so little time at the moment to visit and write.:(
      Still, hopefully, when I've properly settled in I'll have more time to myself! :)

      With you in Spirit always, dear Kindred Sister...and wishing you a magical day!

      Big Hugs & Warmest Blessings xoxoxo

  2. You are an enchantress with your words and a dreamer of the heart. You are a magical person of the soul...and a Druid who watches over all.
    You are a true friend that I feel connected to though we've never met. Because you share your dreams and magical thoughts here and I feel as if I've come home.

    So beautiful, dearest Ygraine~

    Big Hugs and Lots of Love

    1. Many thanks, Keith...that means so much to me!

      Yes, it is going well so far...the work isn't by any means easy, and it is really demanding timewise...but I am thoroughly enjoying it.
      The only downside is that I miss you all...

      Have a great day! :))
