Gentle maiden tender and mild By sin and darkness undefiled I came to you as a child Seeking refuge from the world so wild I came to you, arms open wide Longing so to be by your side You gave me rest and took me in Protecting my broken heart within Gentle maiden, lover and friend Hold my heart close until the end And when daylight dawns fresh and new Know always my heart that I love you ------------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Sven, such a delicately expressed verse, this. Your maiden, how can she possibly deny you? Just beautiful, my friend... ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Fairest maiden, see thy missive sent from stoic Knight, 'tis his bent to place soul's heart upon thy sleeve in order that thee would believe of his loyalty, oath, vow and then know he be staidfast till the end. *** Your maiden faire dost not know how fortunate she be...so you have my heartfelt admiration for pursuing her from here to eternity! |

Sven. Truely poetry in motion. *sigh* Kethry "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |

The problem with replying so late is that every body else has already said what I want to say. Can I just say ditto and this has a magical fantasy touch to it...reminds me of reading medieval lit. Don't care what people say Just follow your own way Don't give up and use the chance To return to innocence. -Enigma |
