Art thou Don
Quixote Still, battling thy lonely windmills in the
empty darkness - still searching for the fair and
sweet Lady Dulcinea of thy former dreams, or, hast
thou art truly given up the dream of ever having
happiness.
Oh sweet and
noble romantic warrior of where hast thou been
searching but non other than the vipers nest - where
no one has a name - seeking to find a fair and gentle
lady true where surely none exists.
Wouldst thou
search for the sunshine under a rock or for spring
flowers in the desert - Nay say I - thou would not.
So tell me my
sweet and noble lord why hast thou sought out maidens
fair - dancing and prancing in the market square.
Surely, thou
doth now see the folly of thy former ways and
realized that thou hast been beguiled and cast under
a spell of illusion.
Wouldst thou
think me false and to be like those that thou has met
before - fickle vixens all. Grasping and greedy,
pretending to be needy giving nothing in return.
Nay say I - for
I will not be bought or sold - My love is not for
sale. I give it freely and ask nothing in return,
except for thine most precious gift of thy very own
affection.
I hope my lord
can see that maidens true are few and far between, so
again I ask my noble lord to lay thy troubled head
upon my breast so I can caress thy weary brow and
kiss thou wounds away.
For I seek
merely to sooth thou troubled soul and let thou rest
from thy long and tormented quest with hope that
thee, my sweet and gentle lord will find me, thy
sweet and gentle maiden pleasing to thine eyes and
heart to see where it will lead.
Nay, say thee -
it can not be for all maidens are the same.
But surly thou
dost know that not all flowers are the same nor can
they all smell quite as sweet as this rare red rose.
Thou wouldst
not find me dancing and prancing in the square
pretending to be the Lady Dulcinea that thou hast
searched and thought to find before.
Nor shouldst
thou confuse me with thy lowly Aldonsa thinking thee
a fool and find me ungrateful in my love for thee for
I can only be myself alone, for no other can I be.
Nor do I seek
thee to worship me nor place me high upon a pedestal,
for then how wouldst thou reach me if it were thus,
nay say I, better for me to be right beside thee so I
may hold thy hand and thee my own and walk lifes
journey thus.
For no golden
goddess I playing with mens hearts and souls for my
own benefit or amusement - for I tell you truly that
I am merley a honorable maiden with a wounded heart
of purist gold mirroring thine very own who has been
disillusioned too and hears thy voice so like my own
and doth respond in kind and wishes only to provide
thy noble lord with the admiration and affection that
thou hast so honorably sought and doth deserved.
And least thee
think that this thy sweet and comely maiden is not
just as scared as thee, think again, it is simply
that I still hold my faith and still believe that
pure and perfect love still doth exist.
So do not think
thy eyes deceive thee for I am not one such as those
that thou hast met before, common harlots all
masquerading as fair ladies seeking to bewitch or
beguile thee for their own benefit and advancement.
Put me to thy
test my brave and noble lord for thou shall not find
me jaded or false for I would love thee kindly and
wisely and true and my mind, my heart, my very soul
shall be for thee and thee alone.
Or wouldst thou
blind thy eyes and throw this, thy most precious gift
away preferring to remain alone struggling in immense
darkness rather than suffer the slings and arrows of
but a jealous few who might be narrow minded and
unkind because of the different shades between thee
and me.
So I pray thee
please, my sweet and noble knight to meditate upon my
deep and heart felt words and if by chance thy come
to me - I beg thee please do not a fickle lover be
for all I ask tiss for thee to try to cast thy walls
aside and not abuse my love or turn away from me as
others have before, but I ask thee please to stay
with me so that we we may at last find the happiness
and contentment that we have both been searching for
within each others arms.
