For some it was
Not long enough
For others
It never was

No white knight
Seeking the Grail
A maiden in his heart

No words or deeds
In the name of love
Worthy of memory
After all is said and done

It must be hard
To face the end of time
Without a beautiful story
To call one’s own

Ah Let us drink
The good wine while we can

And keep the unfortunate
Outside our walls

I really like this one, it has very interesting context that makes me read it over again.

Camelot has a special place in my heart, John, along with this poem.

I don't know if it is your best, you have some very nice ones as well, but it is in the top 5 (At least for me, the author's opinion is always more important)
