Upon the wall of coldest stone I guard in chill of breeze and bone as crocs do swim the moat below and arch does take the feel of bow As pot of oil doth boil and shake the earth below thy feet wilt quake For gate of oak and rope and steel doth make the beat of heart reveal. In arms of blade, of knife and shield the lives of souls in night are sealed as oil in fall does bring to cry and fire of torch does gleam in eye From high above the wall of stone and low within shrill lips will groan as maid and child do cry a tear from fright of night and will of fear. The fight does go in search of quest to win and wage in war to best and blood of red doth flow from me for right of peace and chivalry. |

Magnus darling boy oh this is sooooooo good. Truly outstanding, as always, you are such a fine poet. I love the way you’ve written this, it’s utterly superb, the flow is divine all the way through The images and the darkness the battle the whole scene is described with utter mastery. Your use of perfect imagery abound in this truly this is excellent writing Wonderful writing utterly wonderful    Love and warm stuff As always Mushy To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |

  BRAVO!!! Yes, yes, this is excellent, you indeed have a heart that shines with compassion and chivalry and with a loving heart like yours you are bound to touch many hearts with your gentleness and charity!

*sigh* you take me to far away lands where love is still precious and the stuff which dreams are made of...I love this poem and the vision that I was able to wrap myself in....**big hugs**  Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |
