Sweet Guinevere Poem by Sidi Mahtrow

Written in response to the poem:

Sweet Guinevere (Inspired by 'Annabel Lee')

It was a time of long ago
That begins our tale of love and woe.
There lived a fair woman of such sheer
By the name of Sweet Guinevere.
As I first gazed upon her, I thought I never
Would be with this beauty, this sweet forever.
For I did love with all my love my, dear
For I did love with all my love my Sweet Guinevere.
There was never a couple as happy as we
Our life held no sorrow, no pain, only glee.
There was no fairer than the mere
Than the sweet, my Sweet Guinevere.
The sounds of our love, the very angels did hear
Whose jealousy took from me, my Sweet Guinevere.
They came in the night, soundless and swift
They came for her, her spirit they did lift.
Her spirit into the Heavens, the angels did make
Whose restful body never again would wake.
I found myself later, alone with fear
For I was without the sweet, my Sweet Guinevere.
Now she was gone, my eyes did tear
Tear for the loss of the sweet, my Sweet Guinevere.
For never was there a couple of such revere
Than that of me, and the sweet, my Sweet Guinevere.
