✨👱🏻‍♂️💖 ~ The Greeting ~💖👸🏼✨

         *~ The Greeting ~*

                     ~***~

...All is well. And with little cost:
tenderness subdues the flash of anger.
The soul is cleansed by love.
The queen grants you forgiveness.

You kneel—in humble reverence,
standing uncomplaining, contrite.
And I grant mercy—with love—
to you, my own dear pilgrim...

You traveled a long road before
the horn sounded its plea at the castle:
to let you in to me with hope...
And was there ever... a stranger-woman?..

Perhaps it was merely a fevered
imagination—a treacherous mind—
painting another image for a lover...
and foretelling the blows of fate?..

But here you are—standing bowed,
awaiting the verdict with downcast eyes,
buoyed by our meeting,
hiding a smile, as it happens...

I glimpse the secret of that smile...
And I feign anger—just for show.
And the hurt is forgotten—
for our meeting is no mere chance!

You journeyed far to reach my side,
Surmounting every hardship faced!..
My heart now flutters like a bird—
And falters, by emotion stirred...

— Rise, noble knight!.. Welcome back!
I bear no grudge. I’m glad you’re here.

And, blushing deeply in my shyness—
Beneath the blue of that familiar gaze...
