debutante to debauchery
verses
royal sire of frail famed
adultery
such was after all
Camelot
in all its beautifully told
rage
ruin
and glory
so
fair mighty King Richard
shuck your smothering shroud
of shame
and you
gorgeous young Gweneviere
take back
in a fire's fury
your rightfully given name
why perhaps then
that starving Sir Lancelot
could quite morally make
his hungered claim
why such grand scale love
locked liason
would not seem quite so terribly
tragic
had the daring 1990's let you thrive
in their flaring , as anything goes
frame
but then
such incredible heart wrenching tale
could not be so beautifully perceived
and carried over quite splendidly
throughout history's age old
reminiscent reign
as still even today
amid the corruption, moral decomposition
and violence
love indeed eventually conquers all
but
its the misunderstandings
in each separate small moment
that clearly depicts one's moral grain..........
