A DREAMING DESIRE 
                                             Staeorra Rokraven 
                  - 
               A spark comes coiling to the edge of sleep 
               From realms arcane which have become unknown 
               And from this psychic well does beauty leap 
               A vision cherished for to call my own. 
                  - 
               This wispy strand now takes it's shape in fire 
               And fueled by sources boldly to enchant 
               Then forming curves from wish of heart's desire 
               A Woman's eyes all graced with Elvish slant. 
                  - 
               The shield maid's arms then reach and wanting clasp 
               We intertwine within her streaming hair 
               Then sighing voices send a heartfelt gasp 
               As fragrance heralds tawny skin now bare'd. 
                  - 
                 This honored Lady may in shadows walk 
                 But fate may someday find my heart unlock.
