"A Ballad Of Love" by Eric Ford

SciFi/Fantasy text 8 out of 14 by Eric Ford

Love between two stardreamers, it is a sight indeed.... I have experienced it, and it is truly beautiful.

←- Elysium: Introduction | Ode to Night -→

‘twas that beautiful fateful night
That I felt you, though not by sight.
My love, I need not such a primitive tool.
Your beauty is apparent, to any fool.

Today I look upon the joyous past.
On the days my beloved made to last.
Her precious words, her loving hand.
Powerful enough to stop the ever-flowing sand.

I recall those days, I remember them well.
My beloved was always present, to drive back hell.
The evil of those days, was gone once more.
Together we stayed, upon the timeless shore.

We exchanged our words, and shared our love.
Then together we took flight, ever like the dove.
We stayed for an eternity, we never let go.
We shared all things, everything we did show.

That night was beautiful, the sky was so clear.
The moon brought us comfort, we had nothing to fear.
The stars shone brightly, we stared in great awe.
The beauty of my beloved, however, was the best I ever saw.

An eternity passed, and we held each other near.
We took comfort in being together, with nothing to fear.
We never departed, we’ll always remain here.
A loving knight, and his beautiful, beloved dear.

17 Dec 2002	Morgan Li	Loading... that was beautiful! Guys across the world should take a lesson or twenty from you- seriously!!! I enjoyed it most thoroughly and any woman would be honoured to have something this magnificent written about/for her, so whomever she is, take note! (lol)
19 Nov 2003	Bryn Stardust Faery* Lepley*	Loading... Hello again, this is another lovely poem, and expressed you feelings that came through your heart. That you have the ability to do this, and say your feeling in poetry, is like, "WOW" just to put it bluntly ^.^ Anyway, the word 'sand' fits much better than the other one that I commented on... but (i know i know... everyone hates that word but) your last line 'A loving knight, and his beautiful, beloved dear.' beautiful and then beloved sound wierd, and it sounds like too many syllables... maybe you could just take out the beloved all together (i am really bad at fixing problems, just seeing them... ironic huh? ^.^) Anyway, wonderful! Keep it up! Eric Ford replies: "No! You're right... I'll modify the original I have here when I can... for some reason I just felt the need for beloved, but you're right about the weird soundedness of it "
17 Feb 2004	Robyn Petrik	Loading... Beautiful, just like the rest of your poems. Good job with the tough rhyme scheme! Eric Ford replies: "Thanks Out of all of them... I really enjoy this one. It reminds me the most... of how it used to be.."
