My Love, Lancelot My Knight thou art my love, my life, my sin Thy love’s a guiding light, the brightest star Ethereal thy touch, like Angel’s wing Thy fiery glance, embracement from afar This heart is thine forever and a day Thou holds upon thy hand my fragile soul My being trembles with delight each day For thee, my kindred spirit, passion sole Oh Lancelot, thou sets my heart afire But what, I ask, mine heart bereft of thee ? A cold and lonely dungeon; chained my fire ! As Neptune who cannot return to sea I yearn to drink thy cup of Love divine And pray the day to come thou steals what’s thine ~ Guinevere My Lady Dear My Lady Guinevere, my love thou art Thy love, in darkest night, a beacon bright Thou sets my soul afire, all notion parts Thy glance beyond ethereal delight Thy touch alights my darkest gloomy night Alike to Dragon’s breath my passions burn No quest, no grail can keep away thy Knight For thee, my Love, from Death I shall return My solemn vow for now and evermore My heart, my soul, my life belongs to thee Beyond the end of time and Heaven’s door My love thou art for all eternity I yearn to drink thy cup of Love divine And pray the day to come thou claims what’s thine ~ Lancelot |

Wooooo hoooooo Munda... very nicely done. I didn't know they had a Camelot in the Netherlands. I did know they had fair maidens, at least one. |

Doc Moose, XAngel and Balladeer, thank you so much for reading and replying. Denise, sorry girl, this is only half a repost. the first sonnet was indeed used before with Gene's sonnets, but the second one is completely new and written by me like the first one. Thanks for reading and replying though. |

Ethnome and Maria, thank you for your wonderful replies, but I am no Shakespeare, just in a terribly romantic mood now and then. |

Wonderfully written! I'm not even sure that I can spell iambic pentameter correctly! There are some truly wonderful poems on this forum. This is one of the finest that I have read so far. |
