Guinevere and Lancelot ~ Two Love Sonnets

My Love, Lancelot

My Knight thou art my love, my life, my sin
Thy love's a guiding light, the brightest star
Ethereal thy touch, like Angel's wing
Thy fiery glance, embracement from afar
This heart is thine forever and a day
Thou holds upon thy hand my fragile soul
My being trembles with delight each day
For thee, my kindred spirit, passion sole
Oh Lancelot, thou sets my heart afire
But what, I ask, mine heart bereft of thee ?
A cold and lonely dungeon; chained my fire !
As Neptune who cannot return to sea
I yearn to drink thy cup of Love divine
And pray the day to come thou steals what's thine

~ Guinevere



My Lady Dear

My Lady Guinevere, my love thou art
Thy love, in darkest night, a beacon bright
Thou sets my soul afire, all notion parts
Thy glance beyond ethereal delight
Thy touch alights my darkest gloomy night
Alike to Dragon's breath my passions burn
No quest, no grail can keep away thy Knight
For thee, my Love, from Death I shall return
My solemn vow for now and evermore
My heart, my soul, my life belongs to thee
Beyond the end of time and Heaven's door
My love thou art for all eternity
I yearn to drink thy cup of Love divine
And pray the day to come thou claims what's thine

~ Lancelot

Anyway English is my 2nd language.

Thankyou all for such kind comments teddybear This was my first ever attempt at Sonnet composing so I was unsure as to how well constructed they were. It's always very helpful to get feedback. cheers heart wings Velvet

Hi Velvet

So these are your first sonnets? There is a guy using the name Munda plagiarising your work - posting these identical sonnets, he must also be plagiarising other peoples work, be cause he has posted loads of sonnets under his name on www.netpoets.com

I thought I should inform you of this, it is so annoying having other people claiming one's work as their own isn't it? I hope you find this information useful.

Thankyou for letting me know Bill, I have just been onto the site netpoets as I regularly post my poetry on their site under a few different pseudonyms and I have now mailed their host regarding this issue requesting that the copied pieces are removed. I originally posted those pieces a few years ago on my facebook page (and several others), long before I discovered netpoets and sites such as this with poetry forums.

Thankyou for bringing this to my attention.
