Magpie #58 Knight's Bridge: Where Dwells The Fallen Boggy Fallow Now?

There where the swords cross
Two by Two by verdant moss
Where hearts wounded be
lay the Knights for all to see

Battles fought lost; won
Legends of great daring son
Blood spilt like milk on the ground
the spirit left on Arthur's mound

heathens and pagans songs were sung
As The Gallant Knight's drawn sword hung
Upon horseback the Excalibur did shine
glint of hardened steel pierced the horizon line

here lies the found
stand down soldier on this ground
there where the enemy once breathed
greet these the future seized

Openly sit by the lit fire
on marble'd mantelpiece's did retire
These Past remnants are post hence
These glorious honours once fenced

how to capture a tangent moment
the dragons and their serpentine lair foment
the maidens cry as villains did torment
the witch Morgan La Faye would cast and brew
the three sisters boiled eye of newt or two
the warlock's magic remedy often hemlock
held secrets in Merlin's ancient clock
the enemy behind every tree did see
shield magnifying every magnificent victory

in our momentary hour and dreams of bliss
the arrow's target they certainly never to miss
before they'd die in the bitter morrow
heather would crown the fallen of the boggy fallow
