Bejeweled... surrounded by countless minions whose quest being but the still of a lion’s heart as a last breath spills the lips. Might one desire that they should be but one who cleans the sweating, stinking stall. For there, one might be heard and not feel the vast emptiness of an ear deafened by hate. As he, in thought, posed upon the world, naked in his glory....hand resting sadly beneath a weathered chin, so do I.. For, though a crown bestows royalty, though kindness bestows courtesy, cruelty births only treachery and doom... Lash me that I might feel the sting of humility, stone me that I might bruise and bleed... Cast me away that I might be born again... and live beyond a crown's anchor.... alive and loved... |

"Lash me that I might feel the sting of humility, stone me that I might bruise and bleed... Cast me away that I might be born again... and live beyond a crown's anchor.... alive and loved..." Amazing poetry, such strength and knowledge.. Verily enjoyed this write.  |

Hello Arthur. What ARE you doing in Magnus' poem? Pondering? Well, ponder no more, Sir... he carries Camelot quite well in your absence, though it would be nice, to see once again, the nights of rain and days of sun.... |

Gosh M. I don't know...maybe an overly active imagination that sees so many different things ... my brain is on DVD I think.... Karilea...yeah, more nights, or was that knights? and I am waiting too.... |

Barry, oh my goodness. You are so, so amazing. The tears fall with this...I am speechless, and as you well know by my replies, that seldom happens. I, sir, am in awe of you. Patricia |

You go to depths few would brave my friend... thinking in terms of the chains another must break...before there is peace in the heart. Many curves to this write. Excellent. TD |
