Gallery Reading Room Fairest maiden of mine heart May I to thee my love impart? I offer thee a love honest and true A love that I offer only to you I pledge thee my sword Lady Light To protect thee by day and by Night My shield I will place 'round thy soul So that Death may not find thee so cold In mine dreams have I seen thy face Dreams that led me to this place And in those dreams I gave my song And you gave the love for which I longed I know thy heart my Lady Fair There is indeed none other beyond compare For I have seen it in the skies Someone who wouldst hear mine heart's cry And to my heart she would give The love for which I have lived A love so warm, loving and kind That I was told I would ne'er find To thy heart I now give mine own Fertile ground where love can be sown This is the pledge I make to thee A love which will set thine heart free Fairest maiden of mine heart May I to thee my love impart? I offer thee a love honest and true A love that I offer only to you ------------------------------------------------------------- < !signature--> That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl [This message has been edited by Sven (edited 12-19-2000).] |

Sven, Oh my knight woulds't thou indeed pledge thy sword and pledge thy steed over all thee pledges heart oh my knight! my troth impart thou hast gifted much to me in thy write of poetry seen my heart and seen my soul gave the gift that helped me whole and now you offer up your love to a maiden such is a treasure trove so I pledgest in my troth oh my knight, be not wroth If thou shoulds't pledge to another my heart is stilled, and under cover but if the pledge is true, heartsworn thou wilt not find me, lost forlorn but pledgest thou, in word and deed if be not lover, be friend in need. Keth Religion is for people frightened about going to hell - Spirituality is for people who have been there. Anon. |

Good Knight, thee Kind Sir pray thee dwell then abide come from thy darkened side sit and speak with me here but no promises, kind Sir no faint heart cause thine to stir and flutter in kind and nay, do not call me dear for want of company I doth call for on thy countenance I would peek but nay, forsake this night's long pall for I am not of whom you seek Guardian Knight, so kind, so wise your honour do not thee compromise but seek thy heart in winsome lass and naught in shine of crystal glass... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Sven, kind Sir any woman would be glad to call you her Sir Knight. "Honest and true love", what more could a woman ask for. Thank you for being that kind of man. |

Sorry I'm late, and knowing you - knowing me as you do, you'd have known how much this one would appeal to me. Nothing more romantic than a Knight declaring his love for his lady fair. Mi Lord ye hath softened this maiden's heart yet again, ye ken? Beautiful Sven.. Isis *I believe every time you put your words to paper, you change.
