Wilt not thee find love’s heart at foot thy bed
for mine awaits thee as life courses veins
Can not thee feel the softest touch of head
as dreams taketh into these arms, remains

Thy feet, most beautiful, a cover to be warm
Thy heart in beat I hold, my love within
My words I give thy ears, to guard from harm
Soul of this knight doth stand, thee wilt defend

A cup of port I raise to thee in toast
for love of thee wilt be mine to ye say
In whispered promise not to be of boast
in act of scene upon the stage wilt play

Upon thy steed wilt ride thee through the night
against the chill of dark, into low moon
If not thee find in wait of strongest knight
quiet my lady, follow this lyre’s soft tune

‘Pon bed of green most soft shalt we both lay
to taste the wines of vintage chilled by snow
In love of thee thy knight wilt thy tune play
and battles fought wilt rage till death’s cruel blow

Magnus darling boy this is such superb writing. Utterly utterly amazing writing it’s so full of beauty, you are an amazing writer, truly awesome. You write these Knight and Lady romances so well darling heart that I swear you must almost speak like this. Well, at any rate in your poetic voice you speak like this, utterly utterly wonderful. Such beautiful lines, as always, and this most particularly

‘Pon bed of green most soft shalt we both lay
to taste the wines of vintage chilled by snow
In love of thee thy knight wilt thy tune play
and battles fought wilt rage till death’s cruel blow


This is a perfect example of all your posts, absolutely divine I love it. YOU really do have an amazing ability to write of love so the reader understands completely. Thank you for this gem

Not sure how I missed this, but take the opportunities offered, I say.
When you write of Camelot, the lady fair stands breathless Sir Barry.
Sending in a straw hat, tipped in reverence.

I would rather have one breath of his hair,
one kiss of his mouth,
one touch of his hand
than an eternity without it.

I'm a stickler for old traditional!  This is excellent....

                               "A cup of port I raise to thee in toast
                                for love of thee wilt be mine to ye say
                               In whispered promise not to be of boast
                               in act of scene upon the stage wilt play

                             Upon thy steed wilt ride thee through the night
                               against the chill of dark, into low moon
                               If not thee find in wait of strongest knight
                               quiet my lady, follow this lyre’s soft tune

                             ‘Pon bed of green most soft shalt we both lay
                             to taste the wines of vintage chilled by snow
                              In love of thee thy knight wilt thy tune play
                            and battles fought wilt rage till death’s cruel blow"

You're just a modern day Billy Shakespeare!   Great work!
