Reincarnated Lovers - Part 1 of 2 ( Co-Written With Carolyn Devonshire )

The ink from his pen flowed through my veins even at first sight
     Great passion I felt reading his words that enlightening night
His style so much like my own, eerie similarity
     He certainly evoked a strange familiarity
Never before had I felt I had known someone this way
     It seemed we’d met before, another place, another day
A connection made quickly blossomed bearing fruit of joy
     And even an ocean’s breadth my feelings could not destroy

My first initial reaction, when I clicked on her name
    Feeling of knowing, images from a past distant domain
The same similar writings, and their historicalness
    Unbelievably spooky, of which I have to confess
This most weirdness of feeling, I have ever endured
    We most definitely have met, of that I am assured
Thoughts in hidden waves, this communicating thrills me so
    By land sea and air, to this maiden I desire to go
   
I have known this man before, but from where I could not say
     ‘Til to the tune an owl sings, my consciousness slipped away
In a round stone room atop a castle I wept sadly
     How could one professing love have treated me so badly
Imprisoned I would remain ‘til I returned his feelings
     It was another nobleman who set my heart reeling
My highlander, so strong and tall, I prayed he’d come for me
     Scale the tower, slay my captor and finally set me free

This maiden I must find, in a kingdom so far away 
     To gather my band of followers, for tonight I pray
I confide in my magician, wisdom he holds
     For tomorrow my plan of action, we will all be told
In a castle my maiden's held, on dragons' backs we ride
     To challenge her captor, to gain her freedom and her pride
In the early morning we swoop, the castle walls are scaled 
     I rescue my blond maiden, all the captured knights impaled
