Analysis of Camelot
Royston 1946 (Reading)
For one brief moment for you and me
life was perfect and Camelot came to be.
There love was shown in all its fervency
and the poetry flowed fast and free.
True feelings came to the surface unsuppressed
as moments of deep passion were expressed.
Things were said and can now be read
that so many years ago I should have said.
With sincerity my dear Dorothy I can say
those words came from my soul that day.
Such heights of passion such depths of woe
as I went to places I thought I’d never go.
Yes, they were real, passion had been woken
as with strong emotion loving words were spoken.
The tears and feelings came from deep within me
as I wrote those poems my soul was set free.
Such emotions are not possible to sustain
and the days of normality will come again.
But passion will flare up again in me I’m sure
and Camelot will return to us once more.
