Oh Nimue of the turbid lake,
of whispers drought of one's forsake.
Of lovers lustful wizardry
his mistress born at Brittany

Of water forms my name is shaped
And sky adorns by nimbus caped
Astound the heavens oh thunders sword
There into earthbound pleasures poured

Her foster son, round table fame
born of the lake, a lance his name.
Vowed to protect a monarch true.
Sir Lancelot did earn his due.

As mortals bed this vespered speech
Closed minded serpent out of reach
Alas I am of liquid stock
Without the need for cultured mock

A trick of heart, her treachery
imprisoned there to ever be.
A tower's glass his mortal shell
This wizard's heart she could not quell.

And truly magic never seen
But given stead the surface glean
While I arise and settle down
Upon the shores eternal bound

Excalibur, bequeathed to him
from 'neath the waters murky, dim.
To be there cast as Merlin cries
of Camlann's grounds, Arthur's demise

And shall I say of Camelot
What time may play has now forgot
Yet in the lakes of tears kept still
The cup of reverent always will

As Avalon awaits the king
A silver blade shall softly sing

I had a dream last night
you came to me on silver wings of light
I flew away with you in painted sky
Was it real
Is it what you see,touch or feel

FANTASTIC!!!
And, from a lover of Camelot...
'Let it never be forgot..
that once there was a spot.
For one brief shining moment..
That was known as Camelot!'

~Hugs to you both!~

I agree with Seymour...except, I would add an extra "E"...exceptionally excellent!

Just wonderful, TD and Mag...but I wouldn't expect anything less than excellence from the both of you.
