In days of old, 
ye knights were bold
And Dragons roamed the land
Sir Lancelot, he was a knight
And Fought with Sword in hand
White horse he rode 
With his lance
A shiny  suit of armour
Beware this knight, the story goes
He really is a charmer!
Now one fine day,...

For my satire group, and for Will; a fairy tale

To a fanfare of horns
The young knight returned
With a tale of slain dragons to tell
The princesses blushed
And the old queen flushed
And the gay knights were happy as well

He had cast down his cross
From the height of...

He rides towards the setting sun
Further and further from his special one
The sound of his armor clanking with each hoof beat
Perspiration horse and rider oppressive desert heat

He rides through the desert to find the Prince.
Commissioned by the King to bring him home.
All others afraid he...

He is a silly man without a clue
that musky roses in red give me flu
     I told him once and then twice
     all in vain…again thrice
now I'm sneezing…stuck in his fancy glue...

Blood surges through the deep gash in his armor
while the brave knight writhes in pain and cries in anguish.

The battle is over now and the knight drops hard to the ground
knowing that his life force is ebbing and his strength is waning.

With the battle finished...

Driving home one day after hours of monotonous office work,
Saw a man sitting by the road; looked as one down on his luck.
Paid small notice to the figure; my lonely life was in a rut.
He was just another beggar, holding out a shiny tin cup.

But...

 On the horizon dawn sits
My knight in shining armour
Waits, gallantly he rides forth
Embraces his bride and kiss

Rising of the red dragon,
roaring loud clap of thunder,
wings spread from a trap dungeon,
on top a summit underground well.

An old English Falcon knight,
the bells summon, as the priest
runs out shouting in sheer fright,
a demon has invaded the church.

The Falcon knight rows his boat
out an overlooked...

He rode the wind on mighty steed
He drove it fast to gain more speed
To win maiden in noble deed
As he galloped in the night…

He found his damsel in distress
With dragon claws clutching her dress
Disheveled hair and heart astress
As he galloped within sight…

One swift leap and...

Traveling along these celestial corridores

Through the spectrum, called life ~

Brought forth by a birth....

Bourn, for this very purpose in time?

A revelation revealed, by the hands of imperatives, "Faith!"

These reverent realities, of a humbled soul ~ 

Manifest amid a myriad of moments....

Symbolic twinklings, of love laced...

Sweep away the past, and all
The times that brought you sorrow
Your future lies in us until
Tomorrow and tomorrow

Lock your nightmares up beyond
Some vast and solid door
I’m your knight in shining armour
And will be for evermore

Shut out your lifelong worries
All your troubles and your fears
Lay down...

This subtle dance in smallest tendons
And tiniest of contractions,
In littlest of words.

Minor C, disclosed in me in
tapping of ten digits
on my sheets.

When they dance in, and straighten,
Lift me so high, I smile...
Upright posture.

Ink flows in, -in colours inimitable
by any wild palette-
and out again.

Arabesque in a...

NOTE:  A young college football player who plays for a team that I follow was seriously hurt this 
past weekend.  I wrote this poem in honor of that young man and in hopes of a speedy 
recovery.


The scarlet warrior with foe in sight,
Stops...

Shining armor clad 'pon a white horse
Eternally strong knight my love, my guide
Reign in, hold, steer my feeble course
Encircle with loving arms, shelter, hide
Now let it be known I'm your pride

Delighted in you, you're love constant source
Intriguing the very thought of you implied
Passionate moments spent...
