I see thee there before me, Sir Knight gaze fondly on thy face with dream drug'd eye I wonder at thy dark wild storm laden beauty what is it, Sir, that thou wantest with me? trembling from fear, or delight, I know not what my eyes, my eyes, thy countenance has besot cast forth my hands from me in grave alarm I trust thee Sir, do my fair heart no harm extending there a tremulous hand I clutch at smoke wisps, and grains of sand Sir Knight, leave me not, I beg of thee! stay and let my heart of thee yet dream "Our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything." --William Shakespeare |

What knight in his right mind would dare refuse such an empassioned plea? Good work Heather Eric. |

After such poetic words of passion what silly knight would not respond affirmative. Very nicely done. |

Wow! You have a wonderful knack for fairy tale content. I love reading it. Nothing can deter a poet, for he is actuated by pure love. Who can predict his comings and goings? "Thoreau" |
