Through the centuries warrior man has waged countless wars in the cause of love and life Battles won, lost, some so fearlessly staged through ageless times of struggle and great strife. Nameless maidens waving tissues above the muddy floor covered by crimson red. All involved in the quest of a true love. As weary knights fight until one life dead.. They carry a shield, for honor, for heart. Fighting till a soul gone, swaying sword still. Knowing each would not share love at the start Going onward in battle for the will. As day wanes and turns into darkest night and warriors, cut and torn go to their rest. Rest assured each did return to the fight for a maiden’s love is the world’s true quest.. Rest ye maidens in stone towers above for we stand faithfully guarding your bed Knowing with honor we war for your love as we most humbly bow our knightly heads. |

*sigh* it is so incredibly wonderful to read the poems of a man who knows how to touch the inner hearts of all maidens everywhere. You wife is truly blessed to have a treasure like you in her life. Do you really think there are others out there like you who are Knights who would battle for the hand of maiden. *sigh* I hope so.....my fantasies are filled with just such a man.  Thank you, so much, for sharing this wonderful poem.  Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

Karen, you certainly deserve a Knight to come sweep you up into his saddle, carry you to a safe place and......well, you figure out the rest. Thanx for the wonderful expressions and the emoticons are superb. |

Magnus, I liked this a lot. Somewhere out there I can only hope there are true knights waiting to find all their princesses. Dawn |
