Legend: A Poem by Pete Marshall


Legend


Whence Tristram rode his mighty steed
to claim the hand of fathers pride
she bade him hush and honoured thee
with love that rushed from deep inside

Tempers flare when darkened moods
that grow inside the blackened mind
ignite the seeds of solitude
where screams are all a love will find

A sword is pulled from Arthur’s stone
that dwelled within a shattered heart
which broke the walls of hardened bone
to tear a soul in two, apart

Alone he sits as legends pass
to gently fade and drift away
where idylls sing of distant lore
inscribed in stone for here to stay

Please visit One Stop poetry to read my poem, Tintagel - Birthplace of Arthur. This piece was written a few months ago and is included in my Chivalry & Savagery series, however after rereading this piece i have  taken the opportunity to tweak it. The revised piece is now showing over at One Stop Poetry. I hope you enjoy it!
