Merlin

Sights one night he saw a king

A child born of wonder

Tales of it would fill the world

Of powers torn asunder

On his staff a tiny star

A gift he had not sought it

Deep from in her blackened garb

The jewel from true loves pocket

Came an eve at sunsets pause

A vision came to sight

Atop his mountain o're the ridge

Of a licorice Black Knight

Merlin looked on valley rich 

Fair beauty sprung to life

Catching eye, it's queen of maids

This Camelots first wife

At night he went to see her

From his cave atop the ridge

The Black knight never saw him

With his eyes set on the bridge

They spoke of ancient legends 

And the history of her lands

Before the Black Knight won it

By the violence of his hands

Loneliness had built a void

Tears hoped for his falling

Black knight never there to see

Merlins time was calling

Passions fury one night rode

Its price unlocked her gates

None but Merlin held her heart

Beyond their parting fates

Merlin left his starlight true 

For what it may become

Off to travel far and wide

And bring a chosen one

Merlin found that strapping boy

Convinced him to be king

After years of training him

To take the Black Knights ring

Many years had come to pass

Arthurs time it nears

Take the Black knight off the bridge

And save our Guineveres
