Milady’s Love

Milady, you were always loved
For twenty-five years, the people honoured you
They believed you were one of them
Not either royalty  or nobility
Just the same as they were
But you had someone loving you who you did not know 
No one knows anything about it
Just that it arrived on the day you were buried
Milady, it must have boundless love for you 
Every night, it comes to you with a white crystal rose
It just sits on your tombstone waiting for you
Sadly, you may never return
But know, milady, that love is there for you
All in the guise of a raven and a rose

Hhmmm...intriguing. Sounds like a declaration of love for Princess Diana. Nicely penned, My Lord Taylor. :) john
