In the Great Hall of the castle
All come, respects to pay,
For the Sun has reached its zenith
On this,the longest day!

By the Kings royal decree
Declared by general proclamation,
In this Great Hall the Feast is held,
For the entire Kingdom, a Celebration!

Our Kingdom stands yet another year,
Though wars and threats did rage,
The Brave and Faithful did repel
Our enemies, yea every savage!

"Camelot, oh Camelot,
Turn aside every foe,
For thy wisdom, strength and honor,
Every kingdom shall know!"

A joyous Feast it is this year,
The Kingdom gathers here,
Citizens from all walks of life,
Assemble this day to cheer!

I sit here at this table
With Esmeralda on myne arm,
Looking deep in those emerald eyes,
Enchanted by her boundless charm!

There across the table sits,
Myne own Brother, Knight Blackthorne,
Graced by his lovely escort,
Lady Skye, many jewels thus adorn!

A sumptuous feast set before us,
Prepared with such apt perfection,
With thanksgiving we thus partake,
With fine wine, compliment we our selection!

A Merry Minstrel plays its songs,
Music and laughter fills the Hall,
Barons and Princes, Dukes and Knights,
All revel 'til the third watch call!

Though the room be full and merry,
Myne eyes are set solely on Thee,
Esmeralda, Fairest of a thousand lands,
Thy beauty sets my heart free!

Esmeralda, myne Goddess, myne Beloved,
For naught would myne conquest be,
To battle the heathen and vipers,
If I thought not that Thou'd wait for me!

Come Dance with me my beloved,
Let's dance into the night,
In myne arms, I'll cherish thyne charms,
Let us share in passions delight!

Longest Day, I honor Thee,
Save one thing, I find not right,
Whilest I hold Myne Beloved in myne arms,
We behold but the shortest Night!

I enjoyed this one

Don't ever give in, if you do you've lost everything you've ever had and everything you hope to gain, but if you carry on your already winning.

Too Many minutes, hours, days, weeks, months,
Passed without thee White Knight in myne sight.
Alone whilst together battling separate wars,
Now thine battles won, thus harmony thy guide.

Seeing Knight Blackthorne all pleasantly adorned,
Within Lady Skye’s beauty and flowing grace,
Myne thoughts ponder, couldst once she been his bride?

Oh, forsake thine thoughts, reality beckons,
Thine White Knight and his gallant rhapsody.
Thy dance floor his paradise within paradise,
Drifting myne soul beyond a sketch of desired commodity.

Thine night has thus been shortest of thy year,
Yet enveloped treasures found, irreplaceable,
To recall a special moment tis a quest impossible,
For every second blossoms into another special moment.

Sweet are all thine thoughts of thee White Knight,
Sleep within chambers of heartfelt peaceful slumber,
For destiny’s captured moments swim in passions element.

Esmeralda, myne true love,
Our Shared time is so fleeting,
As if the planets speed up
To match myne hearts beating.

Thou hast graced me to enchantment,
Thy love intoxicates as much wine,
And I, in thy presence am at peace,
Lost in Thy beauty, so divine.

I would march into Hell, the Devil confront,
For thy honor or for Thy safetys sake,
For Thy love is worth more than life itself,
Myne vows to Thee I shan't forsake.

Thou hast awakened in me feelings anew,
I'm a warrior whose soul hast revived,
Thy love hast given myne life purpose,
Daily, I thank heavens, Thou hast survived.

This Solstice night is ebbing,
Dawns light will soon be nigh,
Hold me close myne Beloved,
I long to hear Thy contented sighs!

Myne true warrior, love sublime, dancer and romancer,
Catch me on a whimsical star upon ye magical dreams.
Watch not thine fleeting billows of ancient wonders,
Thy secrets of happiness abound amidst auras of life.

Swept away in thy visual charm, thermally radiating,
Intellectually sentenced to honor Knighthood nobly.
Never thy threatened maidens need have fear,
Whilst ye in their midst harm shallows and disappears.

Thine majesty of myne heart, ye shall always have reside,
Let us arise in thine morning air encompassing our thoughts,
Sweet thou essence of thine purest of summer delights afloat,
Nature’s bounty arisen completely for our solstice of satisfaction.

The ancient wonders but pale in Thy magnificence,
Myne magical dreams are manifested into reality,
While’st Thou inhabit myne arms, radiating Thy beauty,
I am cast under Thy spell with enduring fidelity.

The secret of myne profound happiness,
Lies securely in the knowledge of Thy Love.
I surrender to thy boundless charms,
Content to adore Thee, Myne gift from above.

Our thoughts thus encompassed by this sweet night,
The delights of Summer yet but an aura of anticipation,
We arise from this Solstice eve, our satisfaction apparent,
Fortified to face any distress, even temporal separation.
