Crowned and Dangerous

Nothing is simple when you’re 35th in line for the British crown, least of all marriage. But with love on their side and plans to elope, Lady Georgiana Rannoch and her beau, Darcy O’Mara, hope to bypass a few royal rules….

With Darcy driving me out of London in a borrowed motorcar, I soon discover that he isn’t planning to introduce me to the pleasures of sinning in secret – as I had hoped – but to make me his wife! Of course there are some quibbles to be dealt with, such as my needing special permission from the king to marry a Roman Catholic and the question of where we might live after the honeymoon. Though he will inherit a title, Darcy is as broke as I am. Even his family’s Irish castle has been sold to a rich American who now employs Darcy’s father as a hired hand.

Throwing these cares to the wind, nothing could deter us from our mission – except perhaps the news that my future father-in-law has just been arrested. It seems the rich American was murdered, and Darcy’s father had more than enough motive to do the deed. With the elopement postponed, we head for Ireland, where he insists he’s innocent, and it’s up to us to prove it – for better or worse.

It is a black,beautiful release, to be free of your colorless silence. I take the dark horse of me by the reins now. I am her Black- bride, her Night- rider, and I shall gallop her home to marry light. I choose an innocent mind, concocted from a pure heart. I’ve reached the castle. The walls that stand as relics to my past before me. Indestructible, Undeniable, Weathered stone upon cracked foundations. Yet it is only one long wall of pain vying for my focus so that it may earn its title of “ancient history”. Maps of hidden corners, secret doorways to discover, walls yet to build, rain down upon my crown. I stride by that towering wall with grace and release, It has spoken its piece, and I’ve spoken mine. I want peace. I choose peace. I will not live contained by it any longer. It may never crumble, But neither will I. The inner chamber all Candlelit Christens my heart new again, I am named Illuminata. I’ve burned every candle down, praying to the moonlight, I’m ready to heed the call. Resiliency has won. Angels in my backyard have heralded. Smoke rings stink. I want only the smoke that signals: I live like there is an ever fire burning inside me. My soul desires her life theme back. I’m all in. Send the subtle signs. Send the neon signs. Hang the welcome sign. I was cracked open by the spiral of God-Light years ago, Pretending is no longer optional. Communion is everything. I live the deep life. I wake and work the magic of the day dawned. I stare at the starblazen sky with wonder. If She holds all that in place. There must be a plan for the universe that lives and loves inside me. Ill always hold onto the home of that. Darkness never dims me long, For I am a Star-Rider, Born of, born again of, and married to Light. _____________________________________ .
