Lament

More feelings.

The Rattle of the shield and spear,

The souls of Arthur,

Hector and Achilles,

Beowulf and Galahad,

Slayers of Dragons,

Heroes of romance,

In poemes and ballads they danced the deadly dance,

of Combat, heroic and unabashed,

their lives were epic,

their deeds were legend,

mortals made gods by the pen,

who now possesses their ken?

the knight has ridden on,

the dardans are slain,

The lords of the vikings have sailed away,

Long past the dusk of their glorious day,

they have little place in the annals of new,

their exploits read by merely a few,

the world has changed,

the romantics are dead,

what has come in their stead?

the world has changed,

the romantics are dead,

what has come in their stead?



Yes, The knights have indeed ridden on"~Sir Galahad et al

and oh so true the days of gallant knights are

forever gone ending our daring heroes dance of romance~ this poem has

transported me once again to the days of yore~Exquisite pen!!
