I kneel before my lord, my king
in worship of this realm I know.
I'll shed a tear as lashes sting
from each lash shredding of the blow.

I took to heart that which I shant.
I took to hand warm feel of skin.
I leave behind one love I can’t
as now I tell my thousand sins.

My heart I gave to her, our queen
upon the day of christening.
My soul didst leave in sight unseen
of eyes most bright and glistening.

Take now my flesh to lie the rack
and twist the hemp till cries then still
Tend not deep wounds of bleeding back
as now hot pain doth come at will.

And though my earth shall soon become
a place of rest for this my soul.
My heart wilt beat in lover’s strum
till one last breath does slowly roll.

(sigh) Wow, this poem reminded me of the band Creed's new hit "One Last Breath" reading it, yes, the Lord has a plan for all of us I surely believe and only He will lead you to all the answers of your desires! (big hugggsssssss) This is powerful, sweet friend, God Bless You, 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

Ah Barry!!  The images this conjures up in my mind!
This just aches!  Wonderful write!
..and now to sleep, perchance to dream.

Magnus darling man yet again from within your pen a glittering precious gem appears. Each verse bathes the readers mind in the sorrowful picture, each syllable flows with wonder into the next. The flow is a dream, and the content is as always utterly beautiful. YOU know I adore this, the construction is perfect darling heart. You are, as always are a master of these knightly tales and I applaud your skill. I laud your ability to write so truthfully so picturesquely, but most of all I stand in awe by the way you write sooooooooo beautifully and manage to compress such wonder into so few words.

Truly awesome writing and I love it utterly utterly utterly love it. I love it when you write like this, you really do excel.  

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 earthquake wind and fire

God blees you much, Cher

Poetry is:
Passion, imagination and intellect running together.
