Excellent Free Verse 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         Author Notes 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. Gypsy "The poet waits quietly to paint the unsaid." Atticus
