PAGE
her pen met the paper
a dot, jot, a tittle
a letter a word
then a phrase then a verse
a ribbon of passion
she scribed from her innocence
of warrior's love
unrequited and cursed
the cavalry charged
as knights fought with honor
with valiance and courage
the lines would not fall
the page burst in flames
as her heart burned to ashes
for no one was worthy
no one at all
