I am but a dark knight,
you are my fair maiden,
in jewels of your desires,
I'll try to keep you laden
to show you that you're priceless,
in your own precious way,
The Sun, she is arisin,
out on a new horizon
She brings with her the promise
of another bright blue day.
I hold you in my thoughts,
I keep you in my heart,
always thinking of you,
so you won't slip away.
& if you still await me,
I'll be back to find you,
won't rest until it's over,
and our love's here to stay!

Let me guide you through your darkness,
I'll gladly light the path
And shield your eyes from dreadful things,
left in the aftermath
Protect you from what's still to come,
while darkness lingers on,
And hold you close, unto my side,
until the black is gone...

Glad you liked it WrinklyNinja, I always feel that, even though I might pull a poem out of thin air, that somehow it relates to someone else's existence, as we are all connected in the spiritual world of the subconscious, it's great that you related to it Nightlighter

I'm gliding through the ethers ,
Upon the Dragon's wing's
Well upon my way to a distant call
Since Morpheus invited me,
I feel like a celebrity,
as I grow ever closer
to the Crimson King's hall
When I arrive, she's waiting there
as promised long before
Her beauty is astounding!
It lights up every door
Shining bright as starlight,
That gleams, forevermore
Living in this dream
Was worth a thousand prayers
And I go now to greet her,
up so many stairs
Yes, Morpheus was kind to us,
He brought us back to be
The greatest lovers time has known,
Indeed, were you & me...

When you walk down by the river, & past the willow tree,
Please think about me, thoughts so lovingly
Those memories, always seem to please
Ancient times, when love came with the greatest ease
But the ways of the world & such harsh realities,
Shattered dreams for the futures of you & of me
Now I'm left with the thoughts of what could've been
If only I'd have spoken, magic words I held within...

As the candle flickers in your eyes,
I see you are my soul's demise
reflections of things you despise,
you know the what's, I cry the why's...

I like little blue things, like little blue G-strings,
& not neccesarily on my guitar...
I like little blue things, like little blue oval things,
That help me see nearly, from afar
I like little blue things, like little blue scored things
that put my pain into a jar...
Yes, I like little blue things!!!, hardy, har, har, har!
