In silent stealth the captor’s walk
into the light of moon in trace
a tremble of hand to guard from talk
over the soft lips of beauty face

A squirm and tussle til the sight
of captor in the view of eyes
No longer do the eyes see fright
of suitor who in mem’ry sighs

To wall of window 'fore the break
of dawn comes ‘pon the guards in view
as down the wall and rope they take
a queen in smiles of one anew

The boat is filled with guarded souls
who take to oar and leave the scene
before the sound of drummer rolls
in peace of night and darken sheen

A secret kept of Knightly swoon
of queen and love on sheets of white
whence two did love ‘neath silver moon
to build the bond of stolen flight.

As love has taken hearts away
from those who vow to keep all time
A war now turned from battle sway
from whispered words of sensual rhyme

For in the heart of queen does dwell
the love of one in secrets kept
and love of king in time does quell
as lonely bed the queen had slept.

Gee Sun,  I would have thought that the name
would be ever so obvious....(a wicked smile
comes into view as Magnus exits the scene..
pondering the next move of his dark knight.)

Laughing under his breath....thinking of
the queen prize....hmmmmmmmmmm

BRAVO!!! Oh Barry, this is wonderful, sweet friend, this kind of reminds me of the Princess Bride and how despite one tries to marry her for royalty, her love is secretly aimed for someone elses possession! (sigh) This is a fabulous story, sweet friend, I noticed Part 3 is available now too, I'm off to read that now, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Barry, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Magnus darling heart,

Part two the story runs apace
The pair of lovers start their race
Will they escape the wrath him?
Although he’s cruel, theft is a sin
And creeping out into the night
Isn’t safe when guards set sight
How will these lovers get away?
A wrathful king will make them pay

Part three calls me I must be gone
Darling boy your story moves right on

Still perfect I love it utterly, you’ll be sorry just you wait and see


Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the eathquake wind and fire
Oh
