A roaring fire to warm the limbs
with wine to churn the inner soul.
As candle light does bring from dim
these words I write and slowly scroll.

From mountains high above the plain
to damsels in distress of beasts.
To rails that sing the soulful train
and hardy meals that feed the feasts.

The sandy shore of shadows walk
upon the grains of life in flow.
To whispered words of pillow talk
and visions of a gown in flow.

Where shields do carry to battle
the heart and courage of one man.
Where sabers drawn bring to rattle
the din of war, an evil plan.

As romance comes into the dreams
among the fall that roars and flows
over the rocks of clearest streams
now cold to touch from melted snows.

Of hearts and souls and saddened tales,
of ladies born to give their all.
To men that fought and manned the rails
of cannons fired in need the ball.

Where lighthouses shone the haven
for ships to land and find the maids.
Before the tap of the raven
beyond the blinds and shuttered shades.

The candle burns on borrowed wick
as time draws nigh this weary soul
to curve the quill and trim the stick
before the last of bells then toll.

Each line a piece of the legacy, that I have been graced to see...perchance the tapestry weaves unending, within every soul...poetry.
Well done for a flurb

Yep Linda,  I guess you could call it and
autobiography of one liners from Magnus....
Thanx lady,  love the enthusiasm...

Marge, our lady of the moon,  thanx dear one.  Appreciate your words, always do...and
I do so love your moon poetry....

Never mooned anyone, have you?????   Nahhh,
didn't think so...

Kathy,  yep,  I flurbed big time on that one.  took me about 15 minutes....In the
zone, so to speak...  Thanx my duet poet
friendette....Gridley

Nancy,  be careful...or you are liable to
let out one of your earth shattering sighs
that will give us fits around S. Carolina.

And the boys from FEMA might come looking
for me,  make me stop writing poetry...

Sweet lady,  I won't stop writing until my
last breath has fallen from my parched lips.

I like, I like the flow of this and the message in the fold
a legacy as luscious mist and warmth transcends the cold

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

It is your words such as these that give me shivers and sighs. Awesome. Chris

Barry, dear poet -- you are pure genius!

Hugs, Marti

Every now and then take a good look at something not made
with hands -- a mountain, a star, the power of the ocean.

Hello Barry

The title captured my attention and I just knew I was not going to be disappointed. You never cease to amaze me with the ease at which you write about a by-gone age. I just adore all these type of writings as I'm sure you know and your words transport me to the most wonderful places. I enjoy each and every journey.

Take care.......Sue
