ah my dear sir my knight in shining armor lying in verdant grass ‘neath a perfumed lilac I weave small yellow flowers into your dark feather curls kiss your scarlet lips and whisper improbable promises into your ear my head lies on your broad chest hears your secret heart as you finger wisps of my hair a love hand on my shoulder I tie red yellow blue scarves to your upper arm pronouncing you mine before you gain your dancing steed and ride from my sight ah my dear sir I shall miss your face your heart your courage and look to the day of your return but do not think this lady fair fooled I know under your shining armor you are naked cold and scared to death [This message has been edited by The Lady (02-11-2006 11:46 PM).] |

I think that this poem holds much truth to it. Because we are all ( yes even us women) scared and naked underneath |

“I know under your shining armor you are naked cold and scared to death” Beautiful writing Kate, very romantic writing but I really love the last lines of the second stanza it really gives the piece extra depth. Thank you for sharing such an enjoyable read. Andrew |

Final lines of the last stanza tells all... reveals all... in truth. Nicely crafted, Milady. MoonShadow . |
