A Clandestine Ladylove's Prayer...2003

Destiny. Oh destiny, deny me not, my dreams. Dare not to take from me the love that I have found.
Fate. Oh fate, imprison me not, behind the walls of emptiness that have been created by thee. For I, his ladylove, chooses not to remain in a state of unfulfilled desire.
Desperation. Oh desperation, heed my cries for freedom. Do not enslave my mind in this fantasy.
Truth. Oh truth, whisper into my ear. Speak only of his desire to cast away all others and cleave only unto me, his clandestine ladylove.
Misery. Oh misery, never let you pass by my way. Alas, I welcome thee no more.
Jealousy. Oh jealousy, cease to torment my spirit; for you invoke anger and love cannot abide in a heart that dares to harbor such a negative emotion.
Inspiration. Oh inspiration, en-cloak me in the light of the words that he whispers unto me by candlelight. Guide him to me through my dreams that they shall become our dreams and that we shall realize them together as one.
Hope. Oh hope, leave me not. Alas, I cling to thee in my moments of sadness.
Joy. Oh joy, allow me to keep company with you while I am in his presence.
Elation. Oh elation, bestow upon me, his clandestine ladylove, the vibrant colors that comprise his spirit when I cradle him.
Faith. Oh faith, keep me strong until elation, hope, inspiration, truth, fate and destiny find me, his clandestine ladylove, tucked safely into his heart and his arms for all eternity...
