Lake of Avalon
Inspired by the legend of King Arthur, as well as BBC series Merlin
Your castle has become ruins
Horses now are made of steel
Wish I listened to Kilghagrah
Time doesn’t make all hearts heal
I would pray to the high priestess
But our Old Gods are far gone
Street graffiti of a dragon
Takes me back to Avalon
Legends bring no truth nor comfort
So I take the midnight train
Living, fighting, always waiting
Just a way to numb the pain
I’d stay patient, buy the river
Magic making water dance
Warlock’s honour, no more secrets
Give me just another chance
We would sit there, reminiscing
Round the table with your knights
Dear friend, come back already
Or I might just lose my mind
Inspired by the legend of King Arthur, as well as BBC series “Merlin”

I love all things King Arthur and Merlin and times of magic past. Ah the round table and the gallant knights. Sir Lancelot and his lady. I just adore your poem. I miss the days of chivalry...do you think we could still find some somewhere..
