I know no horror for I lived the grim & amiable years of History - The Royal Caldelian Mark
Mark Caldelian has always believed in a world of possibilities where love and togetherness brings forth joy that never ends . His love for classical music transcends the gentle touch of love he exerts on scores with a faint smile that captures hearts and awe the minds . From Handel to Tchaikovsky whose music fragrantly echoes as his steps gently wallow the floors , it seems he was created in a star light which designs an uncanny resemblance of royalty, statesmanship and beauty , of course of all things beautiful and regal .
Standing across an archway , one can see the gestures of a young early 20 year old , whose taste for the finer things in life dazzles the rest of the 21st century peers watching his weirdly 6 eyes asking whose son is this ? His accent of course , how soothing one yearns to follow the tempo of his pronunciations I sometimes get lost in that unforgettable message . Not only do I get lost in his calm rather graceful speeches but the loads of refined , ancient and rare knowledge, wisdom and highly addictive topics he raises .
I look at him from a distance and ask , whose son is this ? Does he not have a social life like us? He has friends? Why the taste for such music ranging from five hundred years ago ? Why the love for paintings and sculptures? He speaks and writes history as a living testament to events before his birth , Well I believe he is a 19th Century Duke who’s come back to the 21st century as my mind can settle on now. It is no suprise his leadership skills sweeps one away like the howling winds are of the prairie west.
To my uttermost surprise , I chanced upon an afternoon meet at a cafeteria waiting to be served after a first session of a conference , I saw him walk over to my table and constantly Ghanaian I always expect, he introduced himself as mark and said “ Do you mind if I sit around here for some seconds ?” I quickly responded sure , as curious I was , I asked if he’s with company and got shocked with a reply no, for he was a loner . There waved at him two peers he arrived with for the conference , That was when I first met the man who will wow my imagination about how truly different he sees the world .
On our first talk , it was easy for I kept on asking questions about where he is from only to be told he is a student,
I had in my thought he was one of the diplomatic envoys for his mannerisms did not give him out as a student .
I gazed with admiration as I wished to be associated with the personality before me .
Understanding him to be a very reserved figure , he marvels you with jokes I loved and laughed hard , highly beautiful yet cheeky jokes I Haven’t heard anyone play in a time aside the ones you watch with these British shows, he was poised and felt like I was engaging a British Prince . I watched him share life moments and highlight topics I remarked as highly intelligent, daring and a no touch area but he beautifully dissected them with power and beauty quoting dates and personalities linked with analogical thesis .
“I fell in love with the man in front of me whose lips and eyes I cannot stop thinking about but the intelligence he wields are weapons of mass distraction I told myself .significantly humble and rare of any kind I have fixed eyes upon . He thinks not like our world, he loves unconditionally and cares for his kind” .
I left the venue with his number and today we are the very best of friends .
In our discussion of history , I asked what year he would love to travel to and he said “ I know no horror for I lived the grim & amiable years of History”.
