Legend of the enchanted river

My imagination at work.

Enchanted river legend goes
  enchanting as the river flows
Of love's first sight, by magic spun
To those by whom her charms be won

With gentle murmurs flowed the tide
While, by the fragrant orchids side,
A lovely maiden’s voice did play
A lilting song, of words so gay

The knight’s roaming and am'rous eye
Along the banks, beheld her hie
Filled, was he, with adoration
  Beauty held his fascination
(He)
‘Hail to ye, young songstress of kind
No such beauty this eye did find
Before I chanced your purity
Lost from the heavens, must ye be!”

With crimson flushed her silken cheek
A virgin smile shown sweet and meek
damp tresses frame a cupid’s face
Shown beauty of breathtaking grace
(She)
‘Oh, were to God thy dreams be true !
T'is on this day , I visioned you
Within the river's flow I pray
To me true love would come and stay”
(He)
“Fret not, beloved one, hail me!
The riches in this land, I be
I take thy hand with promised love
  to cherish  evermore, my dove”

Began that day, true love most real
between the two, it's depth they feel
  the truest love and tenderness
  Enchanted  river be witness .

I enjoyed reading your lovely poem very much. You have a true gift for Romanticism and Old English language. You possess a classy, professional style. You should consider being a romance novelist. The picture adds to the atmosphere of enchantment. Nicely done.

And such an imagination it is. This piece is brillant and the picture is amazing. I sya so much of the meaning of love at first sight. How our feelings overflow from our heart. I applaud your mixture of reality on imagination.

Great piece

Live, Love and Learn

Dope! This had an old school flare to it, and when I say old school I don't mean shell tops, and sweat suits, I mean like Castles and Noblemen King Arthur and the like. Awsome!


"The Cavalier's keen and amorous eye
Along the banks, beheld her hie
Filled, was he, with sweet adoration
Her beauty did hold his fascination'

Like I would have never thought to say "DAMN SHORTIE HAS A WAGON" like the above statement. LQTM


Thanks

I have to say this is really wonderful... the old world feel to it mixed with modern writing blends so nicely and makes for an enchanting piece...

on a side note I love that you used the word "gay"... cause these days it has lost it's real meaning so it i nice to see it being used properly.
