                        MY LADY
Again the burning came
She felt the heat, the searing pain
a cry lanced through her heart
    "Why, My Lady, Why?"
She lay quietly, remembering
lost within the labrynth
of her past and future
she did not feel the slice of the cruel blade.
Bleeding, moaning, she saw the man
with black mask on his face and heart
she knew his choices and his pain
Oh, to cause such pain to accept his own
If only she could touch him, heal him.
"I love you," she whispered
Dark eyes calm yet full of pain
"Don't" cried the man "I want you to die"
"I love and forgive you" she said
tears rolling down her face.
Again and again the searing pain
as the man applied the red hot blade
"Do you still love and forgive me" he screamed?
Despite the pain she answered strongly,
"I do." she smiled,
"Blessed Be" she whispered.
A wave of pain sent her among the stars.
"My Lady," she cried, "I'm frightened."
Strong arms held her close
"You have done well, rest now my child".
The man stood as the heat of the blade faded
the body cooling as he watched.
As tears streamed down his face
he whispered
        "Forgive me".
