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

Enslaved no more, I ran to him; lovingly we embraced
     His arms around me, I knew my feelings were not misplaced
We fell to our knees in pleasure, my gown slowly fell down
     Exploring each other tenderly, true love we had found
His gentle hands upon my skin, I quivered with delight
     Our magical union made the dark prison cell seem bright
A virgin was not “deflowered,” rose buds burst into bloom
     As I caressed the broad smooth chest of my most ardent groom

Upon my Dragon Dragoons, we set off to my homeland
     Across the captor's wastelands, empty of festering bland
Soon we approach my kingdom, majestic mountains of awe
     Over rich greened glens and blue rivers, of pure by glacial thaw
Ahead, my castle so grand, built from granite of the Scots 
     To any others who invade my kingdom, forget me not
We are greeted by my people, cheering my maiden and I
     In salute to her saving, a wedding is what they cry

From this revealing, erotic dream, I woke up breathless
     Knowing the loving connection I’d felt was not senseless
A Scottish eagle soared over the Highlands searching
     His long-sought dove waits on an American shore perching
But now it’s clear what had transpired and soon the two will meet
     Across the Atlantic he’ll sail, his past-life love to greet
And as in Medieval times their passion will reignite
     Their reconnected souls will embark on a future bright

The connection we share must have truly been from a past life. Thank you for working on this with me, Highlander! Love, Carolyn
