About the Poem
Playing Guinevere and Lancelot with a poet on the Internet inspired me to write these sonnets. The muse was just "hanging" in the air and made me wonder how Guinevere and Lancelot may have expressed themselves towards each other, stealing a kiss or a secret touch, longing for the impossible.
Guinevere And Lancelot - Two Love Sonnets |
| by Munda |
| My Love, Lancelot My Knight thou art my love, my life, my sin Thy love's a guiding light, the brightest star Ethereal thy touch, like Angel's wing Thy fiery glance, embracement from afar This heart is thine forever and a day Thou holds upon thy hand my fragile soul My being trembles with delight each day For thee, my kindred spirit, passion sole Oh Lancelot, thou sets my heart afire But what, I ask, mine heart bereft of thee ? A cold and lonely dungeon; chained my fire ! As Neptune who cannot return to sea I yearn to drink thy cup of Love divine And pray the day to come thou steals what's thine ~ Guinevere My Lady Dear My Lady Guinevere, my love thou art Thy love, in darkest night, a beacon bright Thou sets my soul afire, all notion parts Thy glance beyond ethereal delight Thy touch alights my darkest gloomy night Alike to Dragon's breath my passions burn No quest, no grail can keep away thy Knight For thee, my Love, from Death I shall return My solemn vow for now and evermore My heart, my soul, my life belongs to thee Beyond the end of time and Heaven's door My love thou art for all eternity I yearn to drink thy cup of Love divine And pray the day to come thou claims what's thine ~ Lancelot |

The story of Guinevere and Lancelot is one of intense passion, love, sorrow, and regret. I love the way you have written from their hearts and minds here. This is beautifully portrays that love and forbidden passion!

I like your poem very much, you have to know that I was fascinated by the lancelot tale too and read almost all books about it (tennyson, malory, swinburne,.) you imitated the old style very well, the sonnet is beautiful, keep on writing!
