PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

there are good points to be made

where the not so simple subject of love is

concerned

though Sir Galahad knew no truer takers

than those of his own untempered time

with their ever so esteemed gentlemanly beliefs

still his ancient lessons belabored the purest

heart's capability to even if only most politely

spurn love's so cherished yet sweet like bloom

of the 'enchanted but from only afar' sort of

bliss

as all ultra sensitive romantic readers alike know

until his last dying day

he valiantly tried to perfect just this

though success came at an incredible cost

in the pages marking the end

all was indeed not lost

for he learned as he grew into his gentled

giant heart's fabled quest

just as he was destined

he knew

that all men when fighting for and in love

whether it be for thy love of country

or wanted wife

are able even if only to just visualize in and

of themselves their own dreams of love woven

as so ideal

that being of their profound most still too

often imperfect best

if Galahad had really lived

I believe this very notion, he himself

would have guessed

though love is rarely if ever truly perfect

still it is pure in its own indestructibly

mythical sense

man can not live on love alone

yet, without it

he possesses no spiritual defense.............
