Lancelot

A silent knight,
Hushes all with subtle starlit kisses.
A swift, faint encounter of lips on silken flesh.
Come to me are you, my love?



Enticing words drift from a harmonious voice,
Laced with temptation.
A tame heart in contrast to one feral with lust
What sweet seduction is this,
To fall endlessly into a nameless heaven?






Time is unconceivable
Straying into tender respite are we,
The only innocence in these forbidden lands.










Behold,
Grey dawn calls the unwary,
Slipping through blanketed comfort,
Amber light casting glory on foreign sins committed.

    Nice job in every way i could think of. Structure, wording, flow, subject. Nice vocab there. And I forgot it didn't rhyme, not that I think poems have to rhyme, just thought I'd point that out anyway. Like the end. It brings it together. Nice imagery too. I could go on forever about this.
