Marking Time

Twilight found me
standing at my window.
Waiting for something new.
The same question in my head.
What is my destiny?
Am I never to be allowed to  breath
the sweet scent of Loves flower?
Am I to forever live with the scar 
of my one youthful wrong deed.
I  can not smile as I back away 
from My lonely  tower window.
Tomorrow I will send another message
to My Father the King. 
But for tonight I will continue to mark time.
