Avalon Landing Memories of times to be Avalon, my own I Sir Gilven, Knight of Avalon, speaks: Emerald Lady, knower of my soul I have long sought for thee Since the dawning of my heart on the First day of my knowing of love Since that first day, you have been there In the soul of my heart Looking through me with thine eyes Covering me in thy life's sight Long have poets and bards sung of thee And forever will they continue to sing When they do, I can only pray Emerald Lady, That those who hear, will continue their song Forever. . . For that is the length of my love for thee That is the depth of my love for thee And, should I die with but one last look At mine own reflection through thine eyes I shall not have lived in vain But shall have known the truest example of love For eternity. . . from Avalon Landing Atterrissage D'Avalon Memories des periodes d'erte Avalon, mes propres II Michel D'Augustine, poet and land owner, speaks: Emeraude de dame, jewel of my heart, In your eyes, the fields of my love glisten Glisten with the diamond drops of my tears Nourishing the tender land of our hearts Across goldenrod shafts of summer's sun The breeze of your kiss touches my cheek You open your mouth to my ear And your song fills my soul The waves of the strands of wheat bend to you The leaves of the trees sway to your tender song It is then that I know this moment will last Once more, there will be one that speaks of it I will speak through his pen, and my love for you Will be as his love is for her, Emeraude de dame Toujours. . . de Atterrissage D'Avalon Avalon Landing Memories of times to be Avalon, my own III Robert Meredith, sculptor and artist, speaks: woman of Peridot, August voice the band begins in that sultry minor stage lights join with candlelight and smoke framing your gold hair green eyes like a snowy city scene, twinkling the words of George fill the space and ring in my soul like the final melody heard before deafness sets in so, that no other sound would taint the memory of that one last perfect harmony a green/emerald/jade/peridot sound I want that sound to encase my heart to hold it like a hand would soft, softer, softest greenest light I want to sculpt that sound preserve it in the copper green of earth so that, when we have departed this plane for the fields where our love grows among the heather and the perennial honesty that you will not be forgotten, even if I am, living forever in time, here. . . at Avalon Landing Avalon Landing Memories of time to come Avalon, my own IV Sven, poet, speaks: I long to spend my nights in Emerald I long to spend my days in Jade forever lost in this passion a passion that my heart has sought throughout time I long to spend my life in Gold satin I long to breathe my last in China arms forever held in this love a love that I have known for so long was not a dream these lives I have lived with your body these stories I have told of your soul forever lasting across the planes in a place beyond time and dimension ever and never changing this is the place that we have always been the place where our lives have always met a place that only the most complete of lovers can know the place where we become as one from two as two from one take my hand Emerald Lady/Emeraude de Dame/Woman of Peridot we are here forever in Avalon Landing ------------------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person.

Sven, Congratulations on your 10,000th post here at Passions. That is quite an accomplishment and you should be proud of your work. This was a wonderful piece for your milestone. I like the way you broke it up into sections. Very nice work. I see that perhaps the knight of olde lives on through these verses. Congrats, to you my friend. All writing comes |

Oh, this is very well done my poet friend! "this is the place that we have always been the place where our lives have always met a place that only the most complete of lovers can know the place where we become as one from two as two from one" Very well expressed and flowing from the soul of a fine poet!! Sir Sven! |
