Fringe upon the benefits-
of starless night in falling,
Embrace the hushing winter winds-
that dawn of seasons awning...

Slake your dust of destiny-
Within my winding road,
Kiss the hiss of serpentine,
around a heart I hold...

Secret yourself in boldness-
and cry the wolf of tears,
Potion meandered memories,
With cross-top bow in steer...

Only within a lilied dance-
will pardon break
the wheel of chance...
So soar in sacred gaiety
beyond the tarnished lance.

Open arms can be the most fragile in the world...

The knight in armor is tarnished,
the lance a mere hobbling stick?

Feel better, okay, Devina?

My goodness.  You seem to have quite the command over the english language.  I found myself having to look up some words here in the dictionary, and that's not often something I need to do.  I will need to keep this for further analysis.  I liked your meter here as well.  It didn't seem forced at all.

Waits the Knight, for the winter is come again, and the fall was hard.

Thank you.

If your afraid of the dark, then why did you come?

Wow! What else can I say, much enjoyed!

Maybe all one can do is hope to end up with the right regrets.  ~Arthur Miller
