The time has come gentle maiden For this Knight to lay aside his sword I have battled long and hard And my body grows weary my arms are tired my heart seeks solace my soul longs to rest I have travelled night and day I have seen thy face in the sun And thy eyes in the stars Longing to touch thy cheek to hold thy hand to feel thy arms to caress thy lips Hold me close now gentle maiden Speak to me thy words, calming and tender Take my heart into thy hands My body in your arms my eyes to yours my hands to thine my love to thee -------------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Hi Sven, I have read this one several times, it is so lovingly written and giving of yourself (to her). Sigh...boyoboy, if you were about thrity years older you could make some grannies hearts skip beats with this love poem for sure. Well done and good luck, hope she comes back so we can continue reading your love poems. |
