The Shores of Alone

Written as a response to a friends poem about creating the perfect woman. But kind of humorous too, so here it is.

I think I'll make myself a knight,
he will exist for me,
made of love and metal scraps
and all my fantasies.

Turn chains of mail to chains of love,
create a perfect mate,
no longer will I live alone,
my answer to this fate.

He'll want to hold me closely
with gifts of love endow,
he'll save me from the dragons,
to this he will avow.

I'll never have to ask him
if his love for me is real.
Of course it is, I made him,
He's my knight of love and steel.

A valiant heart he'll harbor
I placed it there as well,
My doubts I now surrender
In happiness I dwell.

haven't seen your work here before, but this one touching piece ... layers upon layers of depth, deep blue of darkest midnights ... well done ... someone else should read this, now ...< !signature-->

My calling before me, let quill be my offering;
For to be called poet, no greater gift to receive.

ROFL and OUCH at the same time. Just had a vision of you and your knight running across a field in that all too familiar scene rushing to each others arms and as you jump that last step to capture his embrace you are hit with tons of steel knocking you on your face. OUCH OUCH....still laughing though. Priceless
