The Minstrel's Ballad


Mine eyes have sought such beauty as her
and tenderly strummed my passion's harp.
So bittersweet, this song doth sing,
to find its way to my maiden's heart.

Precocious moon, oh light my way onward;
my love, she waits for me by the flowing stream.
Her eyes like midnight, I long to gaze upon
and her skin to caress is of velvety cream.

Her hair of auburn, like flames dancing alive!
My fingers yearn such softness in bliss.
For her beauty has enchanted my weary soul,
and upon her lips, I shall bestow a kiss.

Passion's grace has entombed my being.
Alas! my maiden belongs to another.
But on this eve of twilight's dream,
I vow my love, now and forever.

I have to assume they get points for the grading

Your words are beautiful, and if they have a ranking system, and it doesn't earn them money, stop destroying talent, such as this but allowing it to go unlooked at
