Guinevere and Lancelot
Poetry
She caught me by surprise
Was it her smile, or sapphire eyes
My mind abandoned me as I apprised
Us waking together at tomorrow’s sunrise
Nothing in my life prepared me for
A moment which I could instantly adore
A woman I never met before
That could arouse me to my core
Her laugh was a Siren’s song
Sang to capture a love so strong
A bond meant that we belonged
She was just waiting for me to come along
Hi, she said, or so I thought
I couldn’t get past images caught
Of her and I entangled in a bowknot
She Guinevere, to my Lancelot
Fate was the instigator that night
It whipped two lives like egg whites
Blending us, moon and sunlight
Forever, two souls, burning bright

Thanks for reading.
I have to once again give kudos to Ravyne Hawke for this daily prompt forcing me to write stuff.
