Flutter thine heart, thy wakened soul,
thy breath and beat of crimson vein.
As dragons fly above yon knoll
betwixt the sun, the drizzling rain.

Carry thine self in courage well
‘pon  leave of walls beyond the gate.
Let not thine mind on fear thee dwell
or in the maw thee wilt be bait.

For green of skin and gold of eye
doth fly the skies in seek of flesh.
Till shrill is borne thy maiden’s cry
whence dawn becomes the day afresh.

A soul of heart and brazen knight
doth ride the dark of misty morn.
To find and kill the wretched blight
to ward the cry and tearful mourn.

Thee shalt be thence mine heart to hold
till time doth take mine own away.
I shalt be there, once ever bold,
this heart, my love, of thine wilt stay.

Sally forth, and do thee well
for the maiden's heart doth swell
and all await the plight of fear
and do not let us shed a tear

The wizardry of words unforgotten, unforsakened.
Imagery is a certain key to all of your words.
Great job yet again Barry.

WOW!!! Oh my gosh, are you sure you didn't skip twenty generations? (big hugggsssss) This is awesome, sweet friend, I think that is the most chivalrous thing about love, to chase each others demons away with prowess and largesse and true compassion! (smiles) This is a mighty epic of a poem, sweet friend, I love it, 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

Barry

I have no wish to be bait
perhaps I'll stay behind the gate.

You do the knight so well!

Loner,  thanx, pleased you enjoyed this
chivalrous piece of the past.

KJ...OH, you know I do love that reply and
the dragon....YEP I do!!!!!  

As thy whisper falls 'pon the ear
of one Knight who holds thee dear,
one steed shall run in lathered coat
till hooves and I do cross thy moat.

For in the castle of stone walls
one heart is held to be of mine.
As trumpets sound courageous calls
I whisper back for thee art fine.
