Lucky Escape With My Princess

I will never forget my ex wife telling me that ... everything was wrong and everything was my fault ... ‘I won’t tell you what because you must find out yourself’ My world broke into two pieces or was it a million more Countless days of self trial doom and imminent failure My home had been my castle and now it had collapsed A charade cynical travesty and ploy out of the blue The sky hung with sorrow and dark clouds of despair A cunning pretense of masqueraded intention and plot All acts in one and emotion picking at incomprehension I felt like a pawn in a chess game I never intended to play Faced with loosing all I had and very poorly equipped I looked at many a rule guides self-help had on offer Consulted a myriad of experts took tablets and drank Only to find out that only I held the keys to my fortune My dungeon had a trap door and that was rock bottom Deep down in stagnant doldrums of stark void and oblivion Was a book I never read about fighting windmills in Spain and A few chess pieces and I was the donkey not set for the game My ex was more into horses more precious to her than I was A childhood memory appeared out of nowhere about a ‘rochade’ Castling as the English say in which the King needs protection From a belligerent Queen seeking victory with blood on hands The Rook needed repositioning for me to survive the assault Tarot’s danger with crisis destruction and unforeseen change It took a lot of abuse and disrespect for me to find liberation But change of perspective and relocation assembled my strength I found a new Princess an emotional creature of passion and play Bright as they come and caring kind compassionate and loving We do pirouettes together unbridled spurred on by the moment No reigns no whip and no saddle we are running wild as a pair The King was dead and now he lives better than ever before Her name is Tanya literally the Fairy Queen and her gypsy like Magic comes attached with bells whistles and lavender scent We collect drift wood and star fish together on sandy beaches Built a mansion of intricate dreams so full of wonder and joy Married our vision for so many moments I will never forget ...
