Mai 15
She breathes in.
It’s near midnight. She’s sleeping peacefully. Her red hair brilliant even in the dim candlelight, her skin the color of fine porcelain, you would never guess so much power resides inside her. All that power, and a fool like me filled her with dread at the thought that I may have been felled to yet another beast of the old night.
She breathes out.
She is everything to me. She accepted my proposal, although we haven’t really set a time, just some amorphous date in the future. Our lifestyle, the lifestyle I introduced her to, doesn’t always allow for long term thinking. I do know that every day with her, is like a living dream. Her beauty, her heart, I would disavow everything if she asked it of me, but she never would.
She breathes in.
She is my wisdom, she is my heart and my valor, she empowers me in battle, she heals me when I am weak. With her I am complete, without her I am a broken mirror. I would protect her from the world, but to do that would be to keep her In a bottle and she is a wild rose deserving of the blue sky and fresh air.
She Breathes out.
The look of her, the tears, her body shaking in fear and shock, it rocked me. She deserves joy and love, not terror and fear, but nevertheless she is a warrior, proud and valiant and ever courageous. There are knights that could learn from her valor, I am one of them.
She Breathes in.
I get back into the musky hay filled mattress courtesy of the ladies’ rest, I wrap my arms around her she pushes herself back into me allowing me to hold her closer. I am content. That the whole world would disappear and we could stay like this forever would be the only wish I could ever want.
She Breathes out.
