LADY CLAIRE
Her name
Lady Claire
Vision of succulence
Satin skin
Luscious lips
Melancholy eyes
Stunning beauty
Sublime
Her tender heart
Enamored
Handsome erstwhile lover
Noble Captain Barnes
Dashing Spice Merchant
So refined
Debonair
His letters
Filled with promise
Passionate desire
Dreams of bliss
Betrothal
Abruptly discontinued
Rueful tragedy
Succumbed to Malaria
Returned to Mother Earth
South African goodbye
Patiently
She waits
The silent halls
Obsessed
Her smothered sobs
Still echo
Haunting apparition
Elm Streets master chamber
Five score years have passed
No rest for her it seems
1907
Or was it just a dream?
