Nette Onclaud Poet Rhyme

Enchantment of a Tower

Carve not a tower enclosing your heart 
Allow our breaths to play, let warmth prevail
Sabers fling across moors searching the grail; 
While armor of conquest tears us apart.

Unload all hardened marble in a barrow
How far one’s dauntlessness, how near one’s pride
A hallway of song waits as laughter abides
When ripened moment calls for love to glow.

In silken cape, you enchant the regal court
Yet lonely the man commanding alone;
Instead, let us scurry where moonlight roams
With dewdrops on our lips as we cavort.

Harken, weigh not the power you behold
A jester amuses only for a while;
But splendor of oneness lasts to beguile
Come, nurture our castle before life folds.
