Spear Well Used and Swollen

Spear Well Used and Swollen


So green the grass on hidden hill
 open vista views another thrill
Naked the splendor shone then rose
 swift the shock when love chose

Romance set the fair morning scene
 she a tramp yet once was a queen
Her knight in love with a saint
 she felt his spear, grew so faint

A romp in grass so wet and green
 eyes shut her nakedness unseen
Taste of his skin from armor freed
 joyous placement of heavenly seed

Fair lady's heart yet to be stolen
Knight's spear well used and swollen

R. Lindley, 1979

note:
A bawdy little write from back in 1979.
Not signed so I haven't a clue if it is 
a finished or unfinished piece. I keep finding old stuff I wrote
back in late 70's in this large box of old records. 
 This one was written on a small note pad along with first three 
lines starting another poem on the subject --black crows.
