Within him cries the human soul,
and after all is read in time,
through shades of kindness he bestows
his magic pen on precious minds.

Each morsel from his gifted hand,
has always lived as he has shown,
in greatness where the heart drops land
within the treasured and the known.

And through the ancient tales of knights
in sadness, victory or war,
grows there the tales of his delight
his princely energy secure.

Through him the sacred tales fulfilled,
in yarns of coursing magic hurled,
are lived by all in scenes that thrill,
in magic prince's gallant world.

The heart that from a boisterious laugh,
from page to page, from line to line,
flows upward to a charm that lasts,
where all imagined graces shine.

Gift to me now, to state my mind
in some way measured from my needs
appearing from the taste of time
the prince's magic pen I read.

Ethome...how marvelous and how well expressed! Sven does indeed gift us all with many, many kind words and magic moments...and you Sir have done both him and yourself justice with this piece.

We shall all salute you Sir!  May the Knight rule the Day!

Thank you ethome for recognizing the talents of this wonderful writer. Of all the poets here at passions, Sven has changed the most and soured the highest in the quality and beauty of his work and that has been highlighted in his gallery. This is a beautiful tribute

*speechless*

somehow my friend, "Thank you" just doesn't seem enough. . .

I'm amazed, humbled, touched, and a lot of other words I can't seem to remember right now. . . thank you, thank you. . .

To those that have replied to this already. . . I am indeed honored to count you not only as peers, but friends. . .
