Mark Heathcote - I’ll ne’er put a foot in France

2014-06-11 0

I’ve watched eternal night
Dress shadows with starlight
Every footstep taking place
I’ve followed at a snail’s-pace.

Something, I couldn’t equate.
Dragging, my earthly, weight!
As you; glided along, chaise.
I couldn’t follow… foul of grace?

I’m neither a chivalrous knight
My lady of the intrepid light…
I’m just a Paige of the lance!
“I’ll ne’er put a foot in France
Or find my own romance”.

Mark Heathcote
