Sword
And shield
Upon the wall

Ah My Love
We have no need
For such things now

Among autumn trees
With my blue eyed
Fur headed Tarter Girl

Then side by side
We’ll watch the world
As it passes by

Oh look dear maid
How our  banners
Flutter in the sky

And later
When others
Have said good night

We‘ll snuggle together
As irks our neighbors
Under a silver moon

A tender awakening to romantic serenity.

Well done.

John,

This is nice.  I like your use of "irks".

Sir John,  you may be returning this one back to life:

Dearest,
I had not the pleasure
of thy company, last eve,
as the screen of darkness overcame.
And I, I reached to hold onto...
And you, You were not there.

The galloping steeds, pounding out doom,
mine eyes deceiving, seeing white,
when only blackness lay before me.

The screaming so intense, shivers
caused me to wrap mine own arms around.
Mine upper body leaning forward
in comfort of oneself.

I peeked behind closed eyes,
eyes tearing the hurt and pain
of the little ones seeking, coveting,
on their long journey.
Through the wooded lands,
across streams and bridges, followed
slowly, wearily watching, waiting,
exhausted by vision's end.

I had not the pleasure of thy company
last eve, You were not there in touch.
But mine eyes caught the guise of thee,
upon the darkened screen,
and for a moment,
I felt cloaked, in warmth.

Always
Lady Ollyne
