Dear Lady,

Thy epistle’s dost create
In this Errant Knights heart
A sweet and tender ache,
Of want of ours to meet.
For thou to peer unto mine heart
And therein see the hunger,
A longing for touch of thine hand
On which I would live forever.
For thee to see with mine eyes
The beauty ye would parade afore me,
Eyes that hath seen many a sunrise
Yet they all pale afore ye.

T’is these thoughts
And many more
That this Errant Knight in his quest
As yet but half complete
Causes him to hasten forth
For his beloved to meet.
And if on thine Errant Knights arrival
You should give him entrance at the door
He shall come in, and go out never more.

Yours always

Errant Knight

The call of such a noble man would stir the droplets in a crystal pool to rain, pouring heart and soul into his cupped hand.
Very tender the response to some lucky lady.

this is so touching~
that it touched deep~
deep enough to give my soul a smile

My spirit will rise
above the sea~
There will be no drowning
of my soul or me~

Tis but a humble knight
calling to the maiden
whom hath shown me the light
and what could be
if she would accept
one such as me.

Oh!  Such a heartfelt write in the language of olden days but from olden days cometh the present.  May the door be opened unto you! I know it will be because there's something magical about people who come from Paradise.

mine reaching into another

Your words of love and romance are most certainly fit for a fine maiden.  I hope she enjoys your words of love.

Take care........Sue

I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you
