| Victory, A Knight Being Crowned With A Laurel Wreath" by Frank Dicksee |
crowned with laurel leaves
a sign of bravery
Tis, the day to win his lady love
not, by the swiftness of sword
but, through poetic words
Golden stars fall from heaven
in soft bed of leaves, moist kiss
cupping her heart

Chivalry is not a dead art me thinks!
DeletePoetry is the most romantic way to a woman's heart, for certain. I especially love "Golden stars fall from heaven."

His words doth light
With wondrous flair
The heart of maiden fair.

Smiling - seems you have a poetic pen
Deletemy friend!
Lovely Q44, very much in your vibe of mythos & fantasy. You write like a Victorian poet sometimes, romantic, historical, rife with traditions.
ReplyDeleteThat's me a poet from another time!
DeleteHi Truedessa - such a beautifully constructed poem - reminding us of the delights of poetry and those magical wordy constructions ... glorious. Cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteThanks Hilary - Have a splendid week..cheers
DeleteSigh... this is simply LOVE-ly.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lynn :)
DeleteI could not help but use a most distinguished, imperial voice to read this. A bit of a time travel. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteSmiling - I would like to hear you read it, I am sure you did it justice. Thanks for reading.
