The King in rage did vow to find
and hang the knight of prize who took
a Queen of age to twist the mind
in flow of clear in babbling brook

To arms he called of all the land
a thousand marched to victory
For the Queen was his chosen hand
and fear to him in prize not free

Yet in the midst of warriors strong
an ear did hear the whispered call
and ‘pon the steed a ride of long
to dark knight till a moon of fall

The knight did grin as word did reach
an ear in whisper of the plot
while pleasure he took from the breech
and vowed to kill what king had wrought

The wine of lips and soft of skin
of queen to one did spur the fight
as lovers lived in stolen sin
and warriors rode to find a knight

A battle nigh would bring the cry
of hundreds in the wake of war
as maidens fair would swoon and sigh
in wish of one, the name Karbar

BRAVO!!! This is excellent, sweet friend, among the classic virtues of chivalry revenge was always a common hand aside from the charities of largesse and prowess and you speak of its positive worth so well in this series! (sigh) This is most excellent, sweet friend, I much enjoy these deep provoking stories, 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

OK Sun...so you went and dun it too....

You don't read the end of the book first...
Unless it is some foreign language....

Part TWO comes before part THREE....???

Thanx for the review...

OOOOPS...appears there has been an error on my part.

Most humble apologies offered by this humble knight.

Seems my eyes need aid of corrective lenses...

Cya...

Magnus darling heart, now I’m going to have to go back and read the others. If I didn’t adore your writing I wouldn’t but you devil that you are ……… I’ll forgive you, but one day dearest boy I shall exact my revenge

I shall return after I’ve read the others to tell you exactly what I think of it

And I expect the words utterly love it will arise somehow don’t you?

superb writing and of course I love it utterly

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

OK Mushy....I have been sitting here for
what seems like days,  waiting for the
other comments....  What's wrong darling girl?

Is the heat of my poetry too much for you?

Are you jealous of the words, or what?

Thanx little lady...enjoy your words, always
do...

Magnus darling heart,

Part three the final part my friend
And what a wonder what an end
I didn’t read all of part three
I saved the surprise, a discovery
The queen with her lover waits
For the mists of hope to show her fates
Will she ever know how or why?
Her chosen Knight will fall and die
Or will she find that in the end
A simple plea will her sin amend

A magnificent story I enjoyed it all
And now my friend I hear your poetry call

I love it love it love it and now you’ll pay, remember Nemesis? Watch out watch out there’s a Mushy about.


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

As three are read by the eye
a fourth is saved for the cry
For Karbar is the chosen Knight
who waits to win a lover's fight

I wait till 'morrow to post again
and cause the sorrow to begin
Yet only I do know the fate
and darling girl,  It's gettin' late

The end is nigh I will you say
but till that time, you'll just stay
in wait of what I give to thee
in want of what is MINE, you see!
