M'Lady sweet Esmeralda,
The answer to my prayer,
This delightful, spirited woman
Doth cause my heart to care.

I'm hardened being a warrior,
Must stand ready for defense,
Calloused by years of battles,
So Camelot doth not suffer hence.

Her smile melts my hard exterior,
And sings to my panting heart,
I'm so peaceful in her presence,
She's a beauty, a true work of Art!

Her eyes flash as radiant emeralds,
Her hair swept as  heavens mist,
Her touch summons sweet emotions,
Her lips, just beg to be kiss'd!

M'Lady, my quandary is simple,
What doth M'Lady see in me?
A Knight, so seasoned from battle,
Would'nt blame Thee if Thou sought to flee!

My dearest White Knight
What pleasure to see you here
Should you see our Lancelot
Please inform him his Guine is here
I salute you my dear friend
On your beautiful verse of romance
I'm sure lady Esmeralda
Will not miss this unique chance.

Hmm, I fear our Lady Esmeralda just fainted after reading your beautiful poem Sir.

I shudder to think of thee questioning
thy reasons beyond thou true evidence,
thou battle scars honourable elements
of thy true Knight you've pledged to be.

Mine eyes see deeper then thy worn skin
as loyalty and honour became your badge,
mine mind sees a Knight most distinguished
ready to defend gallantly at any moment.

Ye took my whole being to thy dance floor
as the summer solstice came to an end,
mine heart fluttered like wings of a feather,
then away thou slowly fled without a sound,
leaving this here lady to weep her tears.

Now thou hast painted me so delightfully,
how doth mine soul absorb thine paint?
I so want to snuggle by thou gallant side
and let thine artistic nature draw me in,
yet reserved I wander scared and alone.

Will thine paint shine illustrious enough
upon this easel as I stand before thee,
perhaps thy brush desires more than I have?

My brush can ne'er improve,
Thy evident perfection,
Think not mine quandary,
As ignoble rejection!

The canvas in question
Doth have twain side,
One boldly displayed,
The back, it doth hide.

Though in good conscience,
Mine hand hath shed blood,
Mine fear thus we'd mix,
As crystal and mud.

Thine innocence beheld,
Pure as the mounts' stream,
Can our relationship,
Be more than a dream?

I beseech Thee, Beloved,
Can Thy heart be at peace,
To accept one as I,
Cross ths great gulf reach?

Can I find peace without thee
Is more what battles within
Thou hast caressed mine
Soul with thine eyes
Of reflection.

From the window of thy soul
My heart is bound and tied
Decorated in thoughts
Of love flowing
With streams
Of desire

Wrapped in illusive creativity
To reveal thy contents tricky
You need to exhibit pure
Charm through which
Total control shines

Hath thou thee ability
To concur thy simple
Gift presented here
Or shall I retreat
My gentle heart
To thine attic
Till thee day
Mine souls
Disclosed

Let thy grass's grow green,
Under thou feet so blest,
Curse ye, for being so serene!

Retreat not Esmeralda,
Neither thyself hide away,
Mine course yet not fully charted,
Is determined this very day.

I would'st that Thou dismiss,
The quandary I thus have spoken,
Let thy pause be assuaged,
Lest our hearts both be broken.

Come forth my Beloved,
Mine arms for Thee await,
To be filled with Thy beauty,
Can'st stop that which's fate!

Esmeralda I beg, delay not,
Lest Thy feelings wane,
Like a spirit once departed,
Can'st inhabit the body again.

Sir Blackthorne, I caution,
Against thy trepass here,
Mine sword is a-ready,
To make this point clear!

Sir White Knight, gallant as well,
totally addictive.
I vow thy heart to thee with each
vibrant breath.
I swallow deep thee contentment
thou offers.

Not a minute of one day could
my feelings wane.
Thy words and being so strong
have me tranquilized.
Like thee finest of wines ye have
matured divine.

I shall flow like a raging river
within thine heart.
Blessing thy constant drum serenade
within mine.

Ne'er fear thy darkest Knight, his trials
shall be futile.
Nothing canst break through
thy barrier of love.

As thee north wind blows
thy spirit of commitment
shall engulf our souls in thy blanket
of harmony.

Heavens gate I doth enter,
Untold beauty unfold,
In my Beloveds' embrace,
The Earth loose't its hold!

I'm lost in a vision,
Beyond time and space,
Gazing into emerald eyes,
Serene smile on her face.

This blissful aura,
Esmeralda exudes,
A terrestrial exclusion,
'Tis Celestial moods.

Our embrace ever tender,
Our souls intertwine,
Engulf'd  by completeness,
So esoterically divine.

My Beloved, my soul mate,
My Lady sublime,
Forever wilt I cherish Thee,
And our Heavenly climb.

In thine tender arms I seek forever,
For it be an honest and true endeavor,
Locked within thine protective caress,
Mine destiny with thee may God bless.

Together within our own adventure,
Thy universe is ours to go and capture,
Canst thou take me through thine paradise,
Touching upon thy stars would suffice.

Cast not all thy burdens upon thine self,
'Tis not good for anyone's overall health,
Let me ease thine troubled mind away,
Whilst under thy sky light our song plays.

Calmly wrap me into thy sweet embrace,
As into mine dreams I dance in thy grace,
Awakening thine spirits of gentle sleep,
Knowing now mine heart is yours to keep.

My beloved,Esmeralda,
I've been commissioned by the Throne,
My Quest starts at dawn,
Forced to leave thee alone.

Subtle words heard whispered,
Quest was Blackthornes' device,
He's engaged the Kings ear,
For to see our demise!

Sir Blackthorne has plotted,
Since Thy curt dismiss,
Of his forward advances,
Denying him a kiss.

He knows of our union,
He's vowed to destroy,
All his evil tactics,
He's bound to employ.

As I leave on this fools trip,
He stays in the castle,
I'm not here to protect Thee,
If He give Thee a Hassle.

Seek out Lady Guinevere,
For protection, Thou must,
List to Her counsel,
For Her Thou can trust.

As I set forth on 'Morrow
A New quandry I see,
How can'st I depart,
And live without Thee?

Thy sadness aches mine heart,
Doth not know if I can be apart,
From thy sweet embrace I know,
And thy smile that's earths glow.

I shall lock myself in quarters,
Until thou is done taking orders,
Knight Blackthorne cannot win,
I'd rather coil alone free of sin.

Lady Guinevere has her tasks,
And I'm afraid of her mud masks,
Just hurry back before I succumb,
To thy slow beating of deaths drum.

Sir Blackthorne, I've cautioned,
Against thy transgression,
Though we're Knight brothers,
I'll end thy obession.

Mine steel is a-ready,
Thine soul to depart,
If thou endanger Esmeralda,
It's target, thine heart.

Percieve not this message,
As an unembodied threat,
Proceed with thy mischief,
And pay thy last debt!

Thou gallant and true White Knight,
I beg of you to keep faith in thy sight,
In my honour no blood shall ever ensue,
For mine devotion Sir White Knight be true.

Back to thee dark room I now retreat,
Until the very time you return to greet,
Mine longing eyes with your glowing smile,
Reassuring ye knew the truth all the while.

Esmerald, mine angel,
Sent forth from above,
This day I affirm that,
YOU are my true love.

'Though I now leave Thee,
With anguish I depart,
Yet I'll never be lonely,
Since You're in mine heart.

Take proper safeguard,
Lest harm doth ensnare,
I've warned Sir Blackthorne,
It's his life if he dare.

Your vision shall carry me,
While'st on this bogus quest,
Thine beauty sustains me,
When I'm put to this test!

In thy warm light of sun baked skin,
I can't help but garnish a sweet grin,
For with thee thy fertile earth glows,
As blest essential time slowly flows.

In thine lucid eyes I see thy journey,
Grasping a tight hold like a tourney,
Yet within thy single moments peace,
This sweet dream could easily cease.

I'd take all thine constellations in sky,
As away into paradise we would fly,
Catching star beams of natures love,
Given for us by thine heavens above.

In thy reflection of a fleeting glance,
I could imagine partying in France,
All thee Lady's curtsying at your feet,
Hoping thy honor of you so to greet.

I find their maneuvers very gracious,
As I dine on thy intellect so luscious,
This dream I shall keep in mine mind,
as this bogus quest has left me purblind.

Good news, my Beloved,
Sir Lancelot now sends,
My Quest's been suspended,
This folly now ends.

Sir Lancelot looked into
My serious allegations,
'Bout Blackthornes' abuses,
Of his Knighthood station.

Seems Blackthorne has waded
Into areas of low treason,
His corruption so blatant,
Been dis-Knighted for this reason.

King Arthur has banished,
This Knight he'd befriended,
Upon ample evidence,
His Knighthood rescended.

Sir Blackthorne, no longer,
Now it's just Roger,
Left paupered, dishonored,
A banished artful dodger!

Prepare Thee mine homecoming,
A time for Celebration,
In the arms of my Beloved,
'Twill be blissful elation!

My sweetest dreams of thou Knight most true,
Have lifted me above my undying love for you,
When'st through those doors you gallantly tread,
I'll be waiting here, open arms and free from dread.

You've given me the world just with your devotion,
I feel like I've been put under a spell of emotion,
You crept into my heart before my eyes knew
all there was of you, that you planted and it grew.

Our worlds wrapped together as a sea of hope,
A destiny of unraveling journeys to always scope,
Eyes together devouring thoughts within embraces,
Whilst away vacationing the realms of exotic places.

A dynasty of honesty I bestow unto thee my love,
As if granted a star I'd become your angel from above,
You'll always be the glow from the flames that ignite
our passions to levels that exceed tranquil delight.

How much have I ached,
For Thy virteous beauty,
During the time I've spent,
In my Kings duty.

Thy fair skin so radiant,
Thy hair, fragrant, flowing,
Thy emerald eyes shineth,
With contentment showing.

Beyond the external,
Thy beauty's deep rooted,
To the core of Thy being,
To Thy soul it's well suited.

Esmeralda, my Beloved,
My Lady of great charms,
I'll soon be to Camelot,
To collect Thee in mine arms.

Note left for White Knight:

My Dearest Love White Knight,

I've decided to stroll thy gardens in await of you,
Please come and greet me at thine corner bench,
The fragrance of thy floral elegance there brimming,
Upon your arrival mine desires you will soon quench.

Just thy thoughts of your arms wrapped around me
Sets my soul burning with passion ready to ignite.
Yet I know thy respect you shelter me with so kindly,
Will leave me always teetering on the edge of delight.

Thine morning air captivated mine overwhelming joy
Thee knowlege of your return had me totally elated.
When you arrive at thy corner bench the bogus quest,
Will have been a success for Blackthone was vacated.
           Love Always,
            Esmeralda

White Knight, I arrived here this afternoon
To visit Esmeralda in her rooms
After reading her note and going out
Where I'd surely find her without a doubt
In the garden waiting for her White Knight
Dreaming sweet mem'ries of lovers delight

To my great surprise there was no one there
I searched and searched, really everywhere
All I found was her braclet left behind
Was it left on the bench for you to find ?
My heart is worried, I don't have a clue
Where she is now, perhaps she is with you ???

Your friend,

Lady Guinevere

M'Lady fair Guinevere,
I'm also alarmed,
Pray thee her safety,
That she not be harm'd.

I fear there's been mischief,
Her bracelets a sign,
Had been a gift,
Of this Love of mine.

Must confer with Sir Lancelot,
How we must proceed,
To get her back safely,
To foil evils' deed.

Blackthornes been banished,
But his presence is felt,
This treacherys his handicraft,
Justice must be dealt!

I vow on all that's sacred,
I'll search Earths ends,
Till my Beloveds returned,
My new Quest begins!
