Loyalty And Love's Lament

Michael Christiansen

She longed for transparent beauty
she had been taught to look
where none could see.
He told her "your look was really quite rare"
"he must be blind !" she thought
why else would he want to be
with me? !
they shared many grand adventures
journeys to uncharted seas
discovering unexpected pleasures
forever they are meant
to be!
