Deceitful Heart
9/19/02

With troubled heart I didst 
proclaim to thee a love unfelt.
With trickery and deceit 
I did carry on.
With dagger poised to plunge 
into mine deceitful heart.
To cause no more hurt and 
pain with false words of love.
Deeply I do command 
mine dagger to strike.
Take back mine troubled heart 
to a less deceitful time.
For surely does mine heart proclaim 
for thy tears of sorrow caused.
Speak not troubled heart 
least thy cause more hurt.
End this deceit now, for now 
I knowest thy love was true.
Whilst all the while mine was false.
Speak not deceitful heart 
for thine words be untrue.
Offer not to thine heart 
a rose blood red.
Alas, alas tis sorrow 
now strongly felt.
Felt for thine love I couldst 
not see through blind eyes.
Go forth mine dagger, strike 
true into this false heart.

Evil Sorceress
10/17/02

There was once upon a time
a Knight of olde, Sir Lonely
was his name, and an evil 
sorceress, Lady Imbrium.
This evil sorceress you see
cast a dark spell upon Sir Lonely.
She bade him to come to her,
many thousand a league from hence.
A fortnight it did take to travel
those thousand leagues.
Upon the day that he arrived,
bade him welcome she did not,
but cast him into a lonely
dark cell deep within 
her dungeon he did stay.
All track of day and night he did loose.
Till finally six months did pass.
Without pity nor a word she didst release
him from his cell.
Blinded by the light of the day
Sir Lonely vowed never again
his heart shall feel.
For thus was the spell of 
the evil sorceress, Lady Imbrium.

Dragon Riders of Dragmor
12/03/02

Of  Dragmor it is said
That 10,000 dragon riders once lived.
To carry on great battles upon dragon back.
Lord Dragmor was once the leader.
He rode upon a fierce black dragon called Seleth.
Envy of all the other dragons was Seleth.
With two mighty beats of his wings he would be in flight.
Battle joined and un-joined, fierce fights and heavenly flights
Upon battle dragon back.
Onward and upward into the sky 10,000 dragons would go.
Darken daylight sky by 10,000 dragon wings.
Fly mighty Seleth, lead the battle flight.
Carry on, carry on to battle fly.
Mourn the lose of 10,000 dragons and riders
Carry the battle least for naught known.
Of  Dragmor it is said that once 
10,000 dragon riders didst live, never more.

Such A Time
12/21/02

Twas at such a time in the 
land that darkness came.
A darkness hither to 
unbeknownst to the land.
The cause was believed to 
be that of sorcery brought
about by an evil sorcerer.
Brave men cowered in fear of it.
Not knowing how to battle it,
they cried in terror.
All the while the darkness spread
further and further across the land.
A quest was set by the King to find a 
wise and powerful mage who could 
defeat the evil sorcerer Malvane.
Many a Knight did take up this quest.
Many died at the hand of Malvane.
There was one bold, young Knight, untested, untried.
Twas thought that he would be the one
to prevail against Malvane and find
the wise and powerful mage.
Twas said that his name be Sir Lonely.
So pure of heart and kind to others.
That in his years he would become 
a great champion in the land.
Vanquisher of evil. 
Dragon slayer of great renown.
So it twas that Sir Lonely did 
find the mage, Perlinous and bade 
him to come and help defeat Malvane.
Perlinous told Sir Lonely that part 
of the battle has already been won
and that Malvane would soon be no 
more a threat in the land of Goeth
or to the King.

Dark Night
5/6/03
.
Dark night portends restless wanderer be.
Black castle looms in lightening flash.
Tall towers surrounded by murky moat.
Black Knight must forever roam parapets dark.
Challenge to fight all that stay
Wielding dark burnished sword mighty.
Defending castle from intruders path.
Black Knight battles on and on.
Battering faceless warriors from the past.
Ill fated cycle to never end.
Trapped forever in black castle's walls.

In Fleeting Light
3/20/04

In fleeting light a Knight did ride.
To proclaim to a Princess a love yet unknown.
To gather in to him all that is right.
To give to her a heart untouched.
Gather thee all around for in the 
gathering darkness a light still shined.
The light of love for a princess yet unknown.
Tarry thee not long upon the wind swept plain.
Castle standing in the midst,
where in the lovely princess dwelled.
In armors stands this lonely Knight.
Twas not by chance he came to be.
To stand afore the castle's gate.
In seeking out the princess fair.
To stand in shining amour at the gate.
Open did the castle gate as boldly he strode inside
to take in his the fair princesses hand.

On Battlefield Stand
01/04/05

In heavy armor on battlefield stand
Swords and shields at the ready
Horn blows to signal the advance
Wearily the knights advance steady

In the misty mornings light 
Footfalls of both knights and men
Resound around the battlefield
Swords and shields clash once again 

mightily they upon the battlefield stand
Swords smashing upon the shields 
armor tearing at the flesh enclosed
Blood runs red upon these fields 

A distant horn sounds faintly twice
Tis time to fall back to whence they came
Taking stock of those fallen there
And those who on the battlefield remain

But one lone knight who stands alone
To gaze upon the bloody ground
His eyes see not the dead and wounded
laying dieing heaven bound

He sees his destiny close to hand
For when the horn doth sound again
His end will come swift and sure
nevermore shall he do battle then

Through a Dream Darkly 
11/15/05 

Walk on down through a dream darkly. 
Going forth into the dim twilight. 
Corridor in your mind seeking exit. 
Through out the perilous journey dream flight take. 
Twilight slowly sheds its dim light to darkness 
Dream getting darker, trail hard to follow. 
Knowing the recessed corridors of your mind. 
You turn, right, left, but still 
that which you seek still eludes you. 
Reaching out from your dream 
You grasp at a thread of light 
Pulling it slowly towards you 
The light gets brighter and brighter all the while 
Till you wake with a gasp.
