Upon the knoll before the rise of waves to dash the windward shore. Where knights and knaves once sought the prize of golden cups from days of yore. For in the cup of chalice sought a wish was held within the grasp to hold what could not once be bought beyond the door of cold iron clasp. A beauty lay upon a bed of down and silk beyond the sill. With gold of hair, and not yet wed in search a knight who could and will. Two hearts did beat a trilling song of love, desire and long soft sighs. As bloods did boil of passions strong beneath moonlit and crystal skies. And as the sun did rise the morn upon the knoll before the crest, a maid awaits a new sire born of knightly nights in torrid quest. |

I'm always drawn to poems of an archaic quality--and this is a good one. Cheers JThere is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar. |

'Two hearts did beat a trilling song of love, desire and long soft sighs. As bloods did boil of passions strong beneath moonlit and crystal skies.' I have to say Barry, no one does this like you do. Great write! |

Hello Barry I'm sorry it took me so long to get to this one and as always I was swept away with the romance of your words. "A poet weaves his words through each verse to create a most beautiful tapestry for us all to admire." Take care......Sue I am in motion |
