Journey of Slow Demise

I shallowly watch as thine moon bows before Thee,
Knowing somewhere close tonight my one true Knight dines.
Canst he not feel thy elements of mine desires deep,
All I dream in this night is for thine love to find.

Thy hands today hast battled garden intruders,
Now they cry in midst of pain, dismayed of beauty.  
Mine desolate heart has misplaced a small garment of chance,
Tomorrows rainbow canst hide tears of loves’ duty.

I cast a flood around mine being, thine Knight blind,
For now I swallow mine own dreams of multitude.
Alone in time rendered as, mine cradle of peacefulness,
crowned of mine self, clad in sheets of sad attitude.

Thy heart hast begun a journey of slow demise,
Where once its voice sang joyfully in choral bliss.
Nowhere now canst thine blessings be versed in sweet density,
Unless to thine spirit of love our minds do kiss.

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

An elegrant grace with the use of the olden tongue.  Your 'Knight' tis a lucky man.  Enjoyed the poem and the visions of olden time.  Look forward to reading more.

You are the Queen of this poetic form...ah sweetest words of loves own pain...

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.
