Love Poem: Illicit

Illicit

Fair maiden was guarded by chaperone Yet her vision was filled by a gallant He too wondered how they could be alone Then he remembered the jousting pageant. Their encounter would be quite illicit If his liege lord knew feelings were engaged Her favours he would take quite explicit Their feelings acknowledged and wholly assuaged. Wonderful day sky ethereal blue Strong-brave knight carried her silken favour Both knew their precious love was pure and true Thundering horses fearless to danger. Their love life doomed maiden in dire distress Her knight unhorsed, dead, they'll be no caress.
