CAMELOT REVISTED

Folder: 
JOURNAL#18

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..........

(Sept. 8, 1998)
