A chapter in the book One Thousand Cranes

Knight in Shining Armor

by Gypsy Blue Rose

 
 
Twilight wraps
the porcelain alabaster skin
as her knight bends the knee
in awestruck reverie
and submission to his Queen
who lies on a bed
of dried lavender and sage

Heartbroken pale mourner
raises his sword to the Grim Reaper
who hides in shadows
knowing steel will not cut
the angel of death

Broken
deep in loneliness and despair
lacking purpose to go on
the knight lies next to her
on the bed of flames
consumed by unconsolable grief
on his way to the nether world

Oh! magnificent loyal knight
trapped in black and gold regrets
of not confessing his undying love


 
 
 


 




Nether world= hell or purgatory
There may be some unintentional natural rhymes

FREE VERSE is an open form of poetry that does not use meter patterns and rhyme patterns. It thus tends to follow the rhythm of natural speech.

Thank you for taking the time to read and review my poem.
