Dear Arthur,
Why has it come about,
that you were birthed
in a time long before mine?
You in a century of swords
and war, castles and knights
and kings, of which you were one.
Me into an ever changing
world of electronic monsters
and political demons.
How is it that my heart
longs for that one whose
bones turned to dust centuries ago?
Where magic and mystery thrived.
When Merlin walked the lands for good
and Morgaine le Fay wove her evil spells.
When kings were revered and strong
horse’s ran with the wind into battle,
and women stood as empty vessels after.
My love you reigned above the decay,
disease and pestilence, the chaotic, human
jealousies to own another’s land, another’s title.
Fifteen centuries ago, to you my heart
has been given. For fifteen centuries
more, with you it shall remain.
