CRIMSON KNIGHT

Rising out of darkness
On his steed of steel
He rises up and finds
The crimson truth revealed

In his eyes shines the sun
Under his arm rides the storm
Like an eclipse of light
He conquers the world

Ride upon the apocalypse
Know that he will take you

Like the crimson truth
He rises up from chaos
He changes all before him
And ends what lays behind

Show me the chaotic future
Lead me from the past
Crimson knight touch my lips
And feed upon my soul



 Without darkness there is no light
Without the light we cannot see the dark
Balance...It heals the soul -- by: LB

Lady B, you write with such imagery...and I love the mid-evil touch.  where does this creative inspiration come from?
take care, janet marie

 ...there are places inside all our souls...
that have never been touched...
there are places inside our hearts...
that need to be loved this much...
Janet Marie

*I miss you baby...
I love you, always.*

Beautiful Lady B!!  I adore all your olde worlde poems too  

 May the world hug you today,
With it's warmth and love.
I pray it whispers a joyful tune in your heart,
That tell you there is a friend sitting in another corner of the world,
Wishing you well and
wishing you love......

Thank you Janet and Isis.

Janet - My inspiration comes from my love of fantasy, sci-fi, and Edgar Allen Poe.  Thank you for your kind words.

Isis - It is a style I have always liked reading.  I guess it shows...

Sometimes I feel one would have to be a Knight to rise above the chaos of my life.  I saw a lot in these words...great poem.

i love the imagery!  it's so medieval yet futuristic all in a few stanzas.  awesome!  ) the imagery reminded me of a passage about the end times in revelation.

"Then another horse came out, a fiery red one.  Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other.  To him was given a large sword."
(Rev. 6:4)
