My lady...ever faithful to you, your needs.
I watch from below your room, always.
Though cold, hungry...I shall not fail you.
For you...you dearest lady... are my life.

Even as the sun sets beyond the mount,
I am here..here below, I'll not leave.
For leaving hurts me so, I can not.
I am here...here I shall ever remain.

You, your smile, flowing auburn hair...
The softest lips of all the land before you.
Shoulders, gracefully hidden beneath silk.
The swell of your bosom taunting me.

A name....if only I were allowed to say..
I would proclaim my love, by your name.
Could I...I certainly would....for all time.
For the beauty of the word is indescribable.

Rest each night...know that you are safe.
Know that beneath your tower...I....I am here.
Sleep in dreams of love, for love awaits you.
Let love take you to crystal falls to me.

I yearn to see you, to once  touch your face.
This feeling shall not ebb, does not wane.
I vow to keep you safely in my arms, as one.
For...as one...love is complete...eternal...

And dear EA, as long as there are ladies
such as thee,  chivalry has a place...
Thanx!

From a cave so dark inside
dragon watched the last brave knight
spread lost words to ladies fair
saw some chivalry was there.
Thought maybe we'll have some fun
so look out to the setting sun
See the Glimmer rising high
A dragon seeks the last brave knight

Just read quite a few of your poems
Good stuff
