The Crimson Battlefield

Where passions crimson flames ignite;
Swept in maelstrom of the heart,
There rides a solitary Knight --
Do not sway your course, nor tire
Oh, brave warrior -- but ride,
Ride the tempest of the fire!

For within the eye of raging gale;
There upon a tranquil glade,
Love awaits to set its sail --
And to let its casting spell invade;
The crimson battlefield unveil
-- For One his love will never fade.

And the Knight rests his weary head
To dream of Her sunlit smile
-- In lap of solitude instead.
For She knows not the fiery trial...
Knows not the Knight whose heart she's bled
-- Her heart is innocent of her beguile.

Nicely done CG,  and of course you know
that I would certainly pay attention to this
piece of lore...

And from the rampart, stone and high
a call,  a plea,  a battle cry.
For of this maid one knight has cast
one die of bone,  this love to last..

Thank you, Magnus, appreciate your kind words - glad you liked it.

And thank you for your verse - enjoyed that

As for the Lady?

And in her chamber, above field,
She, too, dreams of knightly shield;
To hold her, comfort, feel her sigh
-- But Fate will cast the final die.
