SECRETS IN THE KEEP Secrets, secrets ------ secrets in the Keep; maidens call them without which they shall meet, of the baron and his bride a solemn meet, sordid secrets, secrets in the Keep A wizard's spell, a call of bell and peal, chimes and trumpets the courtyard round, princess-pretty prince and horseback riding; jumping brushes and endless jumps, then at last confiding ------ the wizard's wicked coniving Brick and mortar and stone thrice born, eaves of swollen vine above the tower corner, sneaking windows and fingered leafy-ropes reaching out; climbing wooden portals to keep the monarch without ------ the palace walls, the royal halls and pallisade stalls, rolling hills in distances afar Trapped, amidst leering buzzards abound, feeding to feed on king and queen, eyes from walls, eyes in the deep ----- dark earth of smitten Keep, Shadow wakened... wakened from sleep The heart of many sorrow down, unwakened from sleep; rise they may, rise they shall, one by one as they do not slay... never so soon must they stay the hearts of men fast, lucid mind and with heavy task ----- stay the peace, o be it so to everlasting end Naught is written on but a few of every brow, stay the peace? asks the haggled plea of many soul, wrought to bitter end, unsheathed to war and revolution, their solace but a solution for kings this night; one rose above the dreary doom lit light, sheathed aplenty in golden hue, and addressing himself he gave a sting and hello, for he spoke truth to every soul Yet the heart be that it may, overwhelmed and possessed to pillage and slay, to teach them and baron ----- the villains from the east, a lesson this day, the king rose up and spoke, calmly and hoped ----- it be not they to decide the fate of kings; offering peace in place of baneful hope Though always, secrets, secrets ----- secrets in the keep...
