Alder-liefest

My ode to courtly love, chivalry and good old fashion and well missed medieval romance.

I agnise, one was afeared,

To admit the bittersweet for which I now adhere,

The secrete I have come most to advance,

Simply incapable of taking the chance,

To reach for thy inwardness beyond my invention,

Myself the only blockade of prevention,

The tune I speak such an old desant,

O what golden treasures it presents,

For what a complexion could we quest,

In verily I hold thee to such tall affect,

Alder-liefest, bless the moon we met.

So beautifully confessed... your words journey us to another world, distant and wondrous... I was born a few hundred years too late, i'm afeared...

All those hundreds of years ago, when chivalry was beautiful..........and how you capture that feel in your wise words.......beautifully done.
