The Majestic Swan King

As watchful eyes contemplate
symbolic mysteries,
Castles stand clandestine
through mountains misty
classic beauty...
way beyond my wildest imagination,
quintessential of a King's
sumptuous...everlasting fairytale,

not able to resist the
opulent stained glass windows...
as seductive Sun rays
emit a kaleidoscope of colour,
glimmering like
rainbow diamonds that hypnotise,
then silently without a word
I'm taken back in time,

my eyes stroll the elegant cloisters –
such genius of creative skill...
ascending a lavishly appointed staircase,
finding lucidity...richness and vitality –
a fusion of
combatant noble knights
give way to
hearts of dusky maidens,

a drop of nectar to inspire
as battles fought and won,
then through a greenwood
beneath an open glade,
a full moon to shine where lovers stroll
the silver lake divine,
a tear to weep as silhouetted
a cross where drowned a King.
