Hark thou fair maiden I have come hither to defend thy honor And to protect thee from the Raven With my sword and shield I will defend thee And keep thee safe from harm And when 'tis over, 'twill be thee and me For love knoweth not the bonds of time It stretcheth beyond death and life And filleth the cup like the finest of wine For I have always known thee From that first sight above And now again, we shall be free To know what we knew. . .before love 2-28-2000 ---------------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

the raven is but a purple fly bitten barnicle for thou art the most noble of them all ~Victoria~ A poem is never finished, only abandoned. - Paul Valery (1871-1945) |

Sven, You are one fickle knight!! 'cause I just read you and you were laying your sword down, but that's okay..cause you write the purrriest love poems around, and Sven always wins my heart anyway.. Just beautiful! Marcy [This message has been edited by Alle'cram (edited 10-25-2000).] |

Lady Victoria, I thank thee my lady for thy response. . . thou hast made me smile. . . thank you. . . Lady Sandra, rare indeed. . . we shouldst all find love like this. . . Lady Marcy, thank you for thy response. . . and I am indeed not fickle. . . I am just choosy. . .  Lady Tara, surely before love is where we all should be. . . thank you. . . Squire Ron, I am not in need of a Squire yet, as I have no wenches waiting, no stallion to feed and no wages to pay thee. . . but I will keep thy name handy if I doth have need for thee later. . . Thanks to thee my friend. . . --------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Before love, I was lonely After love, I was alone. In love, I was whole. Take me as I am or watch me as I go |

Aye, Sire, dear, brave, heart... before love came thy honor and honor bound, thy trust to trust in thy love... so sip thee from this, thy cup of honeyed mead and tread ye softly among the silence of this love for I have always known ye to be thee...< !signature--> Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?...KRJ [This message has been edited by Sunshine (edited 10-26-2000).] |
