A Night With No Armor


there shall
one day be
a night
with no armor
and no need
to be
exhausted
fire breathers
no distress
and lances lay
where hearts melt
and not
thrust into
excalibur stone
where we
can find
magic within us
and our realm
is close
to Camelot
there shall
one day be
a night
with no armor

May peace reign


No armor
No steel just cotton
the finest silk threads
To drape her
Battle forgotten
Conflicts are shed.
The swords
Are sheathed away
To dark closets hung,
And words
At last rule the day
Time of peace begun

helen - if the night came to one with a softer heart, would the arrow still pierce it?

in a nutshell, splendid!
I hope to see that night

A bird never flies so high that it can't hit the ground

A cool write, Helen...if only one day maiden's walls will crumble and knight's armour will melt...if only...
I'm keeping this one

Take care,
