The Princess and the Butler

 Foundation.

Does sending handwritten love letters still exist in the 21st Century?

Have you ever sent one?

Title 

The Princess and the Butler

(The great portal opens. A handwritten love letter to a forbidden lover)

My love

You are the coveted cascade of life-giving emotions

Within this old life’s frosty abandoned dreams

The raw power to melt

the icy cold embracing my very soul 

Holding me prisoner 

In my many underground streams

All the passing seasons’ love songs 

Just reminds me of that first soft eternal kiss

Of exquisite red lips

I once tasted so long ago

In the stables

And still truly miss

The warm sun echoes of our secret return 

To be together 

As long as the stables candles burns

That thought alone sends a sweet symphony

Into Heavens silvery mists

A divine melody of unchained excitement

Filled with lyrics of a pain-free existence and untamed spirits

Merged and infused with magic at its deep centre

Its own Danse du Ventre and from the opened mouths 

Of ethereal silhouettes

Swirling all around me

As I think of you and your beautiful four horses

I always hear your soul — deep calls

Asking me to appear and hold you before this fragile bridge we walk upon

Falls 

And as I appear as the slippery dark shadows advance

In my dreams 

I always stand in awe and watch 

As you perform your sensuous sword dance

My Goddess

My Queen

My mystical lover and soulmate from The Great In-Between

So if you find this

Your grace,

Reply and put your letter in our usual hiding place

Xxx
