Eternity My Love

I kiss the hand of love
Under Moon before the morn
The battle comes too soon
Our love so newly born…

The King has called me forth
At Glamorgan for he, we stand
The Saxons shall meet my sword
And freedom for our good land

Have no tears my dearest love
Have no tears of dire thoughts
For I'll return to your sweet arms
I vow, though death be wrought


Mount Baedan turns red today
As swords of men are waved
In grasses where they were laid
Iron sang of death it made

Walk forth on hallowed ground,
Where whispers of death be found
The hearts of Knights are there
In the weep of maidens tears

Have no tears my dearest love
Have no tears of dire thoughts
For I'll return this day,
In your heart my love will stay


Little had she known
An arrow found its home
Bent he on shaken knee
He whispered his love to thee

This maiden lay asleep
Restless and weary with weep
..Lov, I am long for holy ground
..Be strong our love abounds

Have no tears my dearest love
Have no tears of dire thought
My life has kept you free
In Eternity I wait for thee

Very good Parker...
I can only weep!  
Such sadness to win a fair maidens heart.
Very Romantic.

My life has kept you free
In Eternity I wait for thee...

Parker, this is quite sad, but very eloquently penned...
Enjoyed reading this one.

Regards, sudhir.

 My heart is pounding, my stomach's inside out
I'm feeling kind-a-shaky, my mind is full of doubt
All I ever think about, is fearing fear itself,
Wish I could unscrew my head and put it on the shelf
Everything is twisted, everything is oh so tight,
Don't know what I'm looking at, the lights are all too bright
My brain's about to crumble, spill out on the floor
Sweep 'em up. Throw 'em away, don't want 'em anymore
Clouds race across the sky, day turns into night,
Still there are the questions, no answers in sight
Everything is twisted, everything is oh so tight,
Starin' out the window, everything is just too bright
Brain's about to crumble, spill out on the floor,
Wish I could unscrew my head, and kick it out the door...
You know I'm feeling kind-a....Strange
You know I'm feeling kind-a....Strange

~parker
this was romantically sad. i see
you can write MANY styles and do
them very well i might add. this
was poetic perfection at its best.
take care.

fair maiden shall not f'ever weep
for thou Knight, thy promise to keep
forever and for Eternity thy heart belongs to thee
thy love is thy destiny.

Park,

Sad ending here, a different tack from your usual poems, although in the next life they would be together, it is inferred, yes?

Have no tears my dearest love
Have no tears of dire thought
My life has kept you free
In Eternity I wait for thee

This is just the way I feel right now...
I love a girl but she does not want me right now...but it feels like I can wait for eternity...
Thank you...

This is an amazing tale you have woven.  A touching story of love found and love that is lost...but in her heart this true love shall remain untouched and forever.  Ahhhh Parker you are the king of weave for this type of tale.  Thank you for sharing this~

Nando, you are very welcome.

CocoBaci, thank you very kindly.

Corazon, its easy to get into them, just put on some fine maiden lace, and shout to be rescued, and many Knights will ride to thee.  

Marina, I prefer age old romantic charm..  

Butterflies, a stranger in my poems, thank you, I don't know about the king, but thanks for the sentiment.....  

Elvis has left the building.....
