holy grail might have been
chalice, a woman's cup
challenge, for to save
her love

knight templars might have been
reporters with long zoom lenses
watching guinnie & lance
cavort about on a stone

none who were not there can touch
beauty, knowledge, fate,
legend leaves tracks for more to follow
let lovers follow us

it was my moment in the sun
my shining nothing conflicting
inside my head were the pure
chords of ethereal air

breathing in rhyme & circular riffs
as if entirely upon harps
& flutes

sun, it's never too late
moon, give it up

united we shall be

universe is bigger than this love
but galaxy?

may in fact collapse
entire, & strand us all
with empty hands

aching hearts
mouths who never said it
to you but then again

you
always
knew
