Lancelot's Recollection

Goodbye home, my heart will ache,

Without you, to what will I wake?

I see your faces fade from sight,

I fear I'll never last the night,

But when I open up my eyes,

I'm here again, I realize,

Fully grown and the man I see,

Is not the boy I used to be.

I write in hopes that my memory,

Will recall all things that I have seen,

People painted blue and black,

Warriors that never lack,

In honor, strength, and passion great,

How odd that they resist their fate,

Before this destined night,

I could not understand their fight,

But from all the wonders I lay eyes on,

Their strong warriors show me the dawn.

I have never seen a more beautiful face,

I knew it when our eyes embraced,

To have her, I must confess,

Would be any man's greatest conquest,

But she is neither mine nor any man's,

For Guinevere is her own woman.

And then there was that dreadful fight,

The Saxons fought with all their might,

But blue faces and silver swords cut them down,

And in my heart, the arrow found,

A place to lodge and a life to steal,

A final thought; a final deal,

Though I must say I am happy now,

My ashes spread in search of home ground.

Arthur, I want you to know, I fought for you,

Not for justice, not for freedom, and not for land,

But I fought for friendship.

The friendship that we had.

So sad...but so true...i love all of this one specially when you write :
I have never seen a more beautiful face,
I knew it when our eyes embraced,
To have her, I must confess,
Would be any man's greatest conquest,
But she is neither mine nor any man's,
For Guinevere is her own woman.

Sigh sigh...
and then :
Arthur, I want you to know, I fought for you,
Not for justice, not for freedom, and not for land,
But I fought for friendship.
The friendship that we had.
Touching...
