Guinevere and Lancelot ~ Two Love Sonnets
Author: Unknown
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

Your two sonnets where a absolute delight to read!
Beautifully penned with eloquent flow capturing the yearning of the two lovers..
My thanks for your fine offering..
This is not a critic...I didn't get your British English
Anyway English is my 2nd language.
Your poems are always marvelous.
Really high class sonnets perfectly constructed, a splendid tribute to Sir Lancelot and Lady Guinevere.
Best wishes

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 bringing this to my attention.
