This brave knight stands The last in line To battle for love His call divine The sword of truth Now he holds Honor his shield Battles the foe He stands defiant Hearing the call He'll not rest Till they fall Never defeated His pledge remains To life itself And love the same His madness deepens He feels her pain He sees her tears Fall down like rain He holds her heart In his hands Keeping it safe From time's sands The sorcerers die Their evil defeated Drawing from each other The strength that's needed The damsel rescued Her heart made whole Her song of thanks Filling his soul My tale ends now A tale of might Telling the love Of this brave knight -------------------------------------------------------------------- < !signature--> That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl [This message has been edited by Sven (edited 05-29-2000).] |

What a quaint romantic tale you tell here. I have always liked your Knight stories. Now if I could just find my knight in shining armour, I'd be in business! LOL Marina |

Wonderful tales of love, you weave, ever so romantic, ever so classy... Sven, your poems are a delight to read... Regards, sudhir. P.S. a spelling error has creeped in 8 lines from the end (rescued). sorry for pointing out a very small blemish, but thought it necessary to point it anyway... Hey you, out there in the cold, Getting lonely, getting old, can you feel me? Hey you, standing in the aisle, With itchy feet and fading smile, can you feel me? Hey you, don't help them to bury the light. Don't give in without a fight. Hey you, out there on your own, Sitting naked by the phone, would you touch me? Hey you, with your ear against the wall, Waiting for someone to call out, would you touch me? Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone? Open your heart, I'm coming home.... by Roger Waters (Pink Floyd) - The Wall |

Sven, I always look forward to your posts. I love a romantic and a gentleman at heart. Wish there were more like you. Your words always speak straight to my heart. Lori ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean. Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens. Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance. And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance - I hope you dance. song by LeeAnn Womack ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

Sven, That was a wonderful poem! I love the way you told a story with it. Just wonderful... Keep writing! I almost missed this one too.... grr...  "Even a fool knows you can't touch the stars, but it doesn't stop a wise man from trying." Harry Anderson, "Night Court" *Cassandra Roseen* |
