Quest Fear thee not fair maiden Held captive in yonder tower For this night you will know The sweet taste of freedoms power One brave knight puts aside his armour And lays open his heart for her to view For he knows that when tomorrow dawns they shall start their life anew Her eyes they shine as beacon bright And draw him to her hearts pure light He shall scale those lofty heights Then with his love they shall take flight There's lightning flash and thunderous roar As the rain beats down upon his chest Neither man nor God could stop him this night No force could keep him from his quest As fly on wall he makes his way Across that wet, moss covered wall Arms length now he reaches out But the stone it crumbles then he falls And as she looked upon that desperate sight He saw her face as he grasped only air Last thought of her as he fell into the night Of tears in her eyes, filed with despair That love gone now, thought he'd never see His life snuffed out by the rocks below But their love it was meant to be His spirit soars free toward her glow And as she now cast herself from that tower Two like Spirits were joined together Now with the angels above they rest Together once more, now and forever!

EagleOne~ What a sadly lovely tale. 'His spirit soars free toward her glow' My what a romantic notion fills this Quest. Enjoyed this one tremendously. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

the maiden cried, "so sadly sweet," and requested that true love repeat the refrain of the Quest from the lad who gave his best, his all, that he had... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, then speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |
