when did I last smile?

Du lac and the Queen

Well, eventually I had to write about one of the famed tragic love stories right?

Here's Lancelot and Guinevere

Edit: yes, i've just exhausted all movies/series about this story.. i'm quite obsessed with it..

This is one of the first poems I had done, so it is quite..ambitious. I hope I will encapsulate the emotions better in the future.

I'll probably do more of this in the future till I'm satisfied. :'(

To Guinevere

You're visage inspires me,

You're beauty transends all worldly things,

But loyalty appears to be everything,

And I would never dare.

So, please allow this pillar to divide us,

Just let our hands meet,

And exchange glances if we must,

For I fear what we might do-

would upset everyone but us.

And I must beg you to never meet me,

As I force these thoughts out of my mind,

But when I close my eyes-

And ask my feet to take me anywhere,

Your image appears in my mind,

And it becomes a reality.

To Myself

This is the final warning to myself,

Please heed it Knight Du Lac,

Both our oaths lie in the same man,

To anyone- this is a fact.

And if loyalty be questioned-

They'll see it's still very well intact,

But to whom does it lie to?

I'm afraid we'd be damned.

To Arthur

I have broken this earthly vow,
Bestowed upon me
I blame me for our suffering
I have bewitched her—
Is there really a need for framing?
The culprit of this affair
Is none other
Than your friend
And for that I shall atone
Just let me bear this alone
Allow me this mercy
For I am ashamed not of myself,
But of the atrocities I commited against her
She had done nothing
But I wished to be with her
