Oh knight in tarnished armor,
how will this come to pass?
Your princess long awaits you,
her love will always last.

You could slay her dragons
if you'd just unsheath your sword.
She calls to you so desperately.
How dare you act so bored?

She worships you, as much as if
you never let her down.
Take off your helmet for a day.
Your true love may be found.

She right there waiting on the side
until you're done your fight.
Hurry now, you still have time
to shield her through this night.

Don't gaze afar too often,
your princess has a heart.
It's tender and it's breaking,
Don't you see her fall apart?

Are you a knight as you profess,
or just another knave?
Do you ride off without a care
when only you can save?

She gives you one last chance,
though you don't deserve her love.
Sir Knight, you'd better take it,
lest she fly far as your dove.

Now this was very very well written! And the piquant longing for the blind and stupid lover who does not see the beauty before his eyes presented very well.An eminently readable poem - with a steady effortless flow

Well done, Cat.  How many times love goes unrequited.  Sadly written, and oh so true.  Linda

Cat, I agree, this is a departure from your usual style...but it is uniquely beautiful.  I, too, loved the story-book theme.  Do some more for us.  Hardrock

Wow, loved this...made me ponder my own journies along midievel paths....May I?

Wrapped in Heraldic Argent

Grace walketh in the forest
her tall lithe form
with a silver halo
and gentle aura
draped in sheer silver silk.
             ~Silver Angel~

Our wandering knight doth mark
progress along her graceful way
by blushing silvered roses blooming
in filigreed ivory amorettes
from thorns which in her path
would'st his armour hath pricked
prior to thine's passing.

This knight would'st thee approach
with courtesy in all manner
of chivalric virtue,
ne’er thine name to disparage.

To be worthy thine accolades
this knave doth so aspireth
as thine chain of fealty
doth this gallant knight errant
be so lurethed by,
link by silvered link,
to thine chalice which doth
with kindred kindness overflow.

Wouldest but that body
be more noble than soul,
thine indulgence he doth request
and in humbled homage pay thee
with this rusty relic
of life's worn sentient
tucked along soul's allurement
nestled indepthly within
his mind's castle keep.

Draped in silvered lunar glow
She walks as Grace,
her carriage of noble virtue
born of an ancient silvered soul
with haloed head held high.

EWDrake 5/2K

Gosh Evan, your knight far outshines mine. I wish I knew where to find him.. Beautiful poem, and such authentic feel.

I enjoyed reading these thoughts....This knight seems to lack appreciation...perhaps he is undeserving of yours...James

No, Cat, mine is merely different in style. Rusted Knight is lovely and sincere. You have a way of making one feel as you intend. I greatly enjoy reading you. More...
Thank you m'lady...

Not all who wander are lost.  J.R.R Token said that, and I use it in a similar context.  Some people are cursed to wander endlessly and keep both sword and shield firmly in place.  
Oh crap, my replies are getting pointless again…must be waking up….
