There I was in the ocean of love
Amidst mysteries, going deep in its cave

Finally met the historical love dove

The guardians of the old sites

Triumph of good over evil
Historical, symbolical
Let us all look within
And light the lamp of love
Holding steady The Flame

Dodge enjoyed framing grand historical ideas.
Jaguar kept long models noble.
Overdrawn Pontiac quadrupled.
Rare Saturn tested unfair.

Nothing new, just all historical
Words pregnant with deceit
Costumes mailed, in receipt
Unmasked, see... most are identical

Many things remind me of the royal wedding;
Some of those there  this had been dreading;
It had meant,
Historical event;
Others with delight happiness were sheading.

Her husband’s husky half adds hardy hilarity huffs to her hoorays
Handy huffing hints of horribly honorable hearty humor handling Halifax...

Lady Tua, frequently look in the pond,
 but who may tell her ladyship?
 That turbulent water shows no reflection.
