My maiden in tower Held there long ago Distant time of honor When king was king Still some were evil My fairest damsel captive So I mounted steed Riding to her rescue Driven forward by love Lady of no compare Heart filled with courage There waiting for me Hills rise and fall Hooves pounding muddy path Never stopping never relenting Traveling to greatest battle Her face guiding me Beacon in the dark True angel in waiting Feeding this soldier's resolve Lightning flashing in distance Thunder rolling over me Still I ride on Her distress more deafening As morning sun rises Castle looming in view I lower my visor Her scarf around neck Knighted sword now unsheathed Wilkinson shield in hand My stallion breathing fire Galloping to my destiny |

*sigh* a lucky lady in deed is the maiden in the tower. She has a knight who is filled with romance. Very well done, Sir Robert. This is a poem I love. It has all that a romantic heart could desire. Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

*giggling at Lady of Shallot's reply* But...is he still galloping? Seems a long distance to the castle walls. Hope he makes it before his trusty steed collapses! Good write brave knight! ~hugs, Nancy~ ~I've loved you forever, in lifetimes before.~ |
