[hometext] => I just wrote this - it may yet be rough. My love (what I have left... ) to the friends I've found here...
[bodytext] => Ink… black upon the cobbles From veins near dry The curtain is drawn The weapons are chosen Yet I am unarmed Sword not drawn Whence I be quartered Still no reprieve Tossed to the dungeon My prize for feats My eyes to shadows Dark… the pain you’ve wrought Whence the knightly battle was your heart it sought The beast within unleashed in pain Not so knightly Mere peasant I be Lost not only your heart But mine within. No poultice of relief No cure in wine Your eyes are veiled Your mask carried well While biding my time was led to hell In a well of misery Drowned in tears And I am the dead Living in sleep Of a thousand years No “White” to keep nor pained relief My princess bride shall hold my heart In a box of wood Beside her bed. Beside her bed my heart shall keep And I shall sleep a tortuous death Alone in my crypt Among the cobs Till my princes grants thy kiss …brings back my heart And I shall sleep a tortuous death A thousand years Till my princes grants thy kiss …brings back my heart.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
