She beckons me to fall


Her form maddens my flesh
Her eyes and lips expose my shame
I lust her
Yes I want her
And I do not understand the burning
To love unrequited is death
She shows me no mercy, la dame
She flits about, she flirts
She causes me pain and to suffer
I am captive to this yearning
Despite my oaths
Despite my banner held for another
She is at once my longing
As well as my muse
Soon this lust will smother
I know my path is now crooked
And I must be renewed
But now I must have her
And I cannot have her
She is one I must risk everything to have
My heart bursts like thunder
And she rides away with a gentle giggle
I am lost to the woes of my longing for
Gwenhwyfar, yes glorious Jennifer
Queen and wife
Of my king
