Poem
Near the cold, brackish waters, wretched with bogs where a gust of the sea wind, lifts the veil of the fog a rider, approaches, through the branches of trees As his steed has a thirst, having need for a rest, and paws at the earth with a fumbling stance There comes, just a moment to glance all around While his horse takes a nibble, on the stubble of grass His eyes focus in, with a curious chance, In the strange cloistered fortress, with a lift of the dew is a brooding old castle.....and the story, ensues......... A forgotten old castle, with moss covered stones On the edge of a forest, in the thick of the sound It is riddled with mystery, not a soul to be found Yet his curious nature, invites him to prowl Near the top gabled window, does fair maiden look down? Waiting the chance to call out, or come down dark spells to intruders, of which he is one... Care not! He is fearless, with courage unbound With panther feet nimble, not a step to be heard Will a flash of a sword, find a gallows disturbed or chains of a dungeon, waiting to fill with no one the wiser.....no fret from the hill? The arched bolted doors, have weathered the storms He carefully knocks, yet the doors guard the lore Nothing shouts out, not a bell left to chime So he climbs to a cove, that lies over the door And into a chamber ....to startle the girl! She has waited for rescue, since a frightened young child Her blue eyes are oceans like the sea in the sun He sweeps off the floor, her delicate frame and her eyes are so large, he almost falls in It takes not a word to calm and convince Together they flee, from this dark prison's cell And a story book ending,,,,, is the one that I tell ~
