Once in a land far away Where the sun shines its lone ray There was a lonely knight Weary from the long fight Sitting upon his chestnut steed Pondering what his heart did need When he saw across the field A stunning beauty that made him yield There upon the whitest mare Sat a lovely maiden fair She looked deep in thought He wondered what it was she sought Across the meadow their eyes met Sparks flew as you could bet He galloped over to her side And in his heart was filled with pride For now he knew that he had found The richest treasure there was around The knight and his maiden fair Made together the perfect pair He is strong and true and brave With such courage that will never wave She is soft and supportive and sweet With such compassion that can't be beat ------------------------------------------------------- Friends are friend forever if the Lord's the Lord of them and a friend will not say never cause the welcome will not end. --Michael W. Smith |

LW, there are no chance encounters. . . only chances taken, and chances lost. . . Excellent poem. .. ------------------------------------------------------ That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Hi Lone Wolf, The chance encounter, oh how we all have wished it could be this way. But love seems to be so elusive. Cerenity |

Sven....thank you and you are so right. I guess I would rather focus on chances taken and put my money where my mouth is here. Which will it be for you?? Without the chance, there would be no encounter.... Friends are friend forever if the Lord's the Lord of them and a friend will not say never cause the welcome will not end. --Michael W. Smith |

LW this is so great, creative and full of imagery.love the knight in shining armor theme...very nice work. take care, jm she said I dont know if I've ever been good enough, and I'm a little bit rusty, and I feel like my head is caving in. ...and I dont know if I've ever been really loved by a hand thats touched me... and I feel like somethings gonna give... and I'm a little bit angry. matchbox20 |

Janet, Thank you for the kind words. I have always loved the knight in shining armor theme too. A good friend inspired me to write this....he has always been my knight. Take care!!

Liz, Thank you and I think Sven is wise beyond his years. Actually, it was written for the knight not the maiden. Perhps it will spark one for the maiden....we shall see. ------------------------------------------------ Friends are friend forever if the Lord's the Lord of them and a friend will not say never cause the welcome will not end. --Michael W.

LoneWolf~ She sits astride the mare of white Wishing for her gentle knight Maiden waiting patiently for the love that she so needs Across the meadow of her dream strides the Knight of perfect seem Thundering in on chestnut steed The storybook ending to her need He drew up and took her hand Ride they now across the land Lovers of the meadow dance Dream content - encountered chance ~*Marge*~ *Thanks for the inspiration. ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Once in my life, I remember being a fair maiden in distress - nary a knight in shining armor came to my rescue to answer my call of duress. I let down my hair and climbed the highest tower and looked o'er the land, but none were to be found ----- I rode my white stallion but he bucked me off and broke my wrist - which never got kissed I searched high and low from land to sea and never found a knight such as thee. AH, lone wolf what a sweet well written fairy tale Thanks for sharing. Keep writing -----------Back to the beginning on the forum for this one. Thanks for sharing, netswan |

LW, nice little knight's tale you weave here. Was expecting the knight to do battle to win the hand of maiden fair. Guess it was just love at first sight and off into the sunset they went. Well written Camelot story! |

netswan, Thanks for the poem!!! Very nice, but wish it had a happier ending. I will keep writing for sure. Maybe even a fairy tale. Danny, Thank you!!! Maybe next time there will be a battle. Hope you're not disappointed. Guess I just felt like love at first sight that day!! I have always loved the days of Camelot. What can I say??

LW This is just a wonderful poem , i just loved it! But I must say that i disagree with you I don't believe in chance encounters , I believe in Fate and that doesn't matter what you do in the end you'll have done everything it was writen! Keep the good work! "Only in the dreams , is that man can truly be free It was always thus and always thus will be" Prof. Keating Dead Poets Society |
