Reincarnated Lovers - Part 1 of 2 ( Co-Written With Carolyn Devonshire )

The ink from his pen flowed through my veins even at first sight Great passion I felt reading his words that enlightening night His style so much like my own, eerie similarity He certainly evoked a strange familiarity Never before had I felt I had known someone this way It seemed we’d met before, another place, another day A connection made quickly blossomed bearing fruit of joy And even an ocean’s breadth my feelings could not destroy My first initial reaction, when I clicked on her name Feeling of knowing, images from a past distant domain The same similar writings, and their historicalness Unbelievably spooky, of which I have to confess This most weirdness of feeling, I have ever endured We most definitely have met, of that I am assured Thoughts in hidden waves, this communicating thrills me so By land sea and air, to this maiden I desire to go I have known this man before, but from where I could not say ‘Til to the tune an owl sings, my consciousness slipped away In a round stone room atop a castle I wept sadly How could one professing love have treated me so badly Imprisoned I would remain ‘til I returned his feelings It was another nobleman who set my heart reeling My highlander, so strong and tall, I prayed he’d come for me Scale the tower, slay my captor and finally set me free This maiden I must find, in a kingdom so far away To gather my band of followers, for tonight I pray I confide in my magician, wisdom he holds For tomorrow my plan of action, we will all be told In a castle my maiden's held, on dragons' backs we ride To challenge her captor, to gain her freedom and her pride In the early morning we swoop, the castle walls are scaled I rescue my blond maiden, all the captured knights impaled

Oh, James and Carolyn, I missed this one! Ah, I'm smiling big and only half way through. I've exclaimed out loud, "Oh, this is a good one!" I love the "fair maiden in the tower touch!" Smiling BIG again! Taaaah, Daaah!!!! Saved! This is so much fun. I'm off to see the second part. It's great so far!!! The beginning of a book or a movie. Something grand! Lovingly, DAS-J
