Surely, love will make them immortal. Between the two, life's reality and own dreams they both are lost in the dust of the time. Love is never seen in right perspective since time immemorial and same story gets repeated with some twist and turns but the end result is the same. Your poem glorified their love and sacrifice. I liked the flow of your poem.5*** Please correct typo " his captors drsgged him past her" " dragged"

2 – line 13 rescurer [sic] traduce(d) ...I never heard the word " verb speak badly of or tell lies about (someone) so as to damage their reputation" line 14 you change from one verb tense to another starting here. hmm? yes, it can be done... I'd REALLY like to know how " their love" prevailed. Ah, maybe the lordship kept them locked in the same cell for decades and amused himself watching them? And maybe her ladyship also watched? ? bri :)

1 - line 1 courtier: " noun a person who attends a royal court as a companion or adviser to the king or queen" line 7 lordship: " 2. (in the UK) a respectful form of reference or address to a judge, a bishop, or a man with a title" So, it seems the courtier 'borrowed' the king's horse? (cont.)

how hard this is for her to pretend she was abducted, when instead she surrendered.... //.... Exquisitely beautiful poem. Unfolding several truths about those who have been in love and can go to any length to reclaim their rightful place.
