Tudor Love Note.
Dearest
absented Knight,
lovelorn and ageing thy Lady\'s heart
in dire isolation awaits the one
who holds it in thrall.
Undeclared,
pledge of thy
care remains stonily silent in coldness
of granite which surrounds me
each tiresome day.
Write thee thy thoughts kind Sire.
Sendest
a message post haste
stating the day for expecting affection,
or swooning I mayest regret
thy part in delay.
Keep not
I pray thee more heartbreak at bay
else all my favours wilt wither
and die so do thou make
a ready reply.
Signed with
mine own discreet heart and boldly
writ for thine eyes only.
