Merlin’s Magic

In the days of yore there lived a knight, a fearless virtued man;

Who fought for all humanity, right wrong, whenever can!

He also had an able aide, who helped him in his quests;

A beautied damsel of nobility, a cut above the rest!

They bonded on the day they met, for she had a brave knight’s heart;

And on that day they joined in love, and vowed they’d never part!

For many years they fought crusades, they battled side by side;

But one day the Reaper stole her way, and to Heaven off she flied!

With broken heart and weeping eyes, the knight laid down his sword;

He had no will to fight again, this loss he so abhorred!

One night King Arthur’s “magic man”, saw the tears within his eyes;

And he asked the mighty knight of this, “What dost it make thee cry?”!

The knight replied, “My friend Merlin, I’ve lost my dear soulmate”;

She’s gone from me and now resides, in a castle, “Heaven’s Gate”!

And Merlin felt his purest pain, and said these words to him;

“Come with me my forlorn lad, I’ve just had  magic’s whim”!

They went to Merlin’s arcane lab, where he conjured magic brews;

He mixed secret potions in a cauldron black, said “I’ll bring her back to you”!

In ancient tongues unknown to man, he recited long lost prayers;

And when the smoke had cleared, the knight looked up, and saw his soulmate there!

With heart apound he raced to her, but his arms went past and through;

Then Merlin said “I’ve brought her spirit back, for all times be with you”!

And then his mate went to his soul, to there forever dwell;

The knight and she would never part, so the soothsayers then did tell!
