I weep as I haunt the ruins of this castle once a handmaiden, then the king’s mistress. lavished in silks, gold, and silver tassel, envy, pierced well born ladies interest. Sneered and hated on my upcoming reign, good times didn’t last long. a drop in my cup of sweet wine of tearful death was very plain, placed away from their space in ageless sleep. Swishing sounds from my gown sweeps these stone steps, of these shadowy chilling stone fortress. With hushed tears I haunt the long corridors yearning for the radiance of my dreams. 7/30/2016 Contest:Three Stanzas- Three Only Sponsored By: Broken Wings

Over here we have a Lady in grey and a white Lady- you haven't met them, perchance? Fine write, Eve, good luck. Viv x

That's a yes from me. Sweet write, Almost a seven but not quite. Hard to rate as your work is of such high standard. You are mostly a 6 or a seven. Interesting that 7 can be highest rating only. Anyway well worth visit. I am well - hope you are too. Fondest regards always David
