My Lord… Thy words fall upon my shoulders heavy with the shame of my love. Love of a lady, my Lord… One thee and I both know. Can this man forget the beauty of one who shares my soul? Can this man leave this lady and walk till darkness holds? My Lord…. I dare sayeth to thee I canst. For in this heart, in this fragile shell a flame burns brighter than a thousand suns. This heat, my grace, a heat the oceans cannot consume and cool. This heat comes from the bowls of my earth, volcanic and hot. Banish me… Cast me far into the abyss of loneliness Give me but a mere crumb, a drop of rain. For I will leave this love to thee… Knowing that my kiss has been felt That my love has traced her very soul That…..My lord….even as she sleeps at night her dreams will be filled with me And tho I shall not see the light of day or hear the words of human life fall upon my ears, I shall smile …. For I have this love, beyond all that can be. Beyond all that is. And thee, my Lord…cannot take this from me…even with my death, for as I die, she dies with me, And lives as my love till time is no more… (This is a fictional write of a knight confronting the king with his feelings of love toward the queen) [This message has been edited by Magnus (08-11-2002 02:21 PM).] |

…as the maiden lifts her thoughts to the soul most dear perchance to hear a tender step that he again draws near …but tis just leaves under wind’s harsh breath she wonders, if hand been tendered would he have stayed, never left …the highway ‘twas his call his steed to carry him away but doth his heart carry her thoughts, this day… |

it is a form of living dying: not having the love that is craved even though we may feel starved Hope is sustenance enough and like the pleasure of reading your work: Bon Apetite'! great work Barry! jeff |

Nancy....thanx M'lady...I know how well you enjoy the write of the Knight... LIW...Perhaps if for just a moment the touch of finger would have told a endless story of love...unfolding even as he rides into the abyss... Jeff...I always accept the comments of one for whom I have great poetic respect... Thanx... |

Barry, an eternal love, and portrayed as only you can. When I read this I know it comes from deep within your heart. Wonderful writing. In truth, what defines us is our poetry. |
