Once upon a midnight dream A story came from days of old A book to read beside a stream And Oh! The story that it told. Come swift to me, my wondrous knight For I have loved thee oft and long Thou takest me to promise bright And then thou gifts me with a song I wait in bowered hope for thee And pray that thou may'st set me free. I read on, this knightly tale To see if love would win the day Imagination in full sail As I whiled the day away. Come in the night where I await Here within this scented bower For tis for thee, I claim my fate In the darkness of thine hour Tho bound here to dark night unreal I await - that we might feel. Laughingly, I held the book As I sat and read some more In this sheltered, cosy nook The tale to tell, of love's adore. He comes, he comes! I hear him call Tho by oath he holds another I will win this night of all I desire, and curse his brother, His brother who hast bound me here Without a love; without good cheer. Shocked I read this tale of woe That twisted deep against my hand Sure that love alone would grow And no revenge, or sadness stand. I hear him come to plight his troth To me alone this shallow night And then in vengeance will my wroth Be settest free and take full flight His brother's curse shall be no more As I compleat this deed of war. Gasping now, I read along Surely love would fill the page The day grew short the sun was gone I held the book in bitter rage It was not love that called the knight But something else and dark mayhap I flung the book into the night And sauntered home in story wrap. That night alone in dreaming deep I felt a call of knight in power And planned revenge within my sleep Trapped within my bitter bower. Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown [This message has been edited by Kethry (02-22-2003 05:50 PM).] |

Beloved one what can I say but this is utterly utterly fabulous. Its too bad of you darling one to write so well when you know I cannot write a word right now. One day I shall write again and you will weep with frustration that you cannot do so, but for now you leave me weeping, truly exquisite darling heart. Isn’t it a good job I love you so forgive you for being such a wonderful writer. And yes you knew I’d say that. Is it dark, no I don’t think so maybe a hint but not as dark as it could have been.  Love and warm stuff as always Mushy  Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds |

Keth... does an "I, understand..." and an "yes"... suffice? |

When a poem is so good I read it and then read it again, I know I've found a keeper. *S* Excellent work, Keth! |
