The gate did fall with such a din upon the ground beyond the moat A thousand left to find the skin of Karbar that the King might gloat With shield and sword and lances sharp across the green and mountain high to the tune of a lonely harp a thousand march to fight and die. Upon the crest of hill above the sentries stood to sound alarm to Karbar and one Queen of love who shared with him her all and charm. A secret held within the breast of lady fair in scornful flight who took to king the place of rest to spite the queen’s love of the knight. A smile did come across the face of the king as words were given as horses were spurred to the chase and whips were cracked on them driven. In dark of night as beauty slept Karbar stole away to the maid to empty bed he softly crept where once before her charms displayed. The anger of the eyes expound of treachery and woman’s scorn. To arms the call of trumpets sound as time was nigh to battle warn. A rider comes, the sentry cries to spread the word of pending fight as Karbar stands ‘neath starlit skies a woman rides from peril’s plight |

Magnus darling boy this is seriously excellent writing, the flow of this is perfect, as always you delight when you write, and today you excel. Why didn’t I find this last night Hmmmm? Part four and now the plot moves on Of this queen and her lover’s song To war, to war they all will fight Over love and queen’s desperate flight Into arms of one who loves her well Thus does Kalabar love’s Queen Isabelle Who will win and who will lose? Who and what will she choose? Will she stay with her brave knight? To live happily through day and night Or will she cede she cannot win And return unhappily to him Her lawful liege, whose power is so That she dreads to see his temper flow Who can say what this will be? Magnus give me more I beg thee You do know I love it don’t you Mmmmmmm it is far too good   Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  Breathe through the heat of our desire Thy coolness and they balm Let sense be dumb let flesh retire Speak through the eathquake wind and fire Oh [This message has been edited by Marsha (06-25-2002 06:19 AM).] |
