The Lady of the Lake
He did not hear her foot
falls, for he lay
immersed in water.
She stepped
soft under the
starry vault
The lady of the lake.
He had disturbed her si-
lent lake with his
loud cries and splashing.
She came
with one simple
goal in mind:
to kill the tresspasser.
But when she got close to
his noble face,
eyes closed and floating,
she did
not feel aught but
love for him.
Her new lord of the Lake
*Do people think that I should write another verse about her acidentally drowning him, or about a wife that she stole him from?*
