OctPoWriMo 2018: Day 20: Fetch: Once in a Moment

Princess Ondina receives an omen

Once in a moment

Which extended for hours 

The minutes became days

'Neath stars more beautiful than flowers

The clock ticked a timeless rhythm

In the hourglass there was a glow

Foretelling an event in the future

Something which my heart needed to know

The events of my past were awful

The present gives no relief

The hourglass foretold to me

Of one who would steal my heart like a thief

Not a thief with malicious intent

A thief with a delicate touch

Of all the moments in this life's chronology

This one means so very much

The night was filled with terror

My heart filled with hope and fear

For you would bring me my greatest treasure

Though all would end in tears

Princess Ondina Rvaga

Regent, Western Zecor

Note:

Yes, it's another story-poem from the world of Fetch.

People aren't too keen for these poems. I think I've gotten one comment on them in the time since Fetch sprang into being close to four years ago. 

Nonetheless, I will keep writing them. They keep the story alive although I've not been able to work on it directly for quite some time.

To paraquote Dr. Frank N. Furter, "I didn't make it for you!"

So, there's that.
