The Knight and the Lady

You're my Knight and I'm you're Lady a medieval flash in time not maybe your nobility conquers any quest with armor and sword dressed Remove all apparel you need it not for you've won the battle you have fought leave your saber in the stone magic comes from inside hence thrown And the ruler will also disarm to you I'd never harm defenseless you are to exalt cavalier without assault Our virtue exposes all infrequent prosperity excluding obnoxious barbarity Your lord and vassal can retreat to isolation drop coif and shield and leave all avocation

You take me back to one of the most exciting periods in British history, Angela. King Arthur and other knights and ladies were often part of my ripe imagination! ~ Best regards // paul

Very sonnet-like! Especially liked "Leave your saber in the stone." ~ Ready to Joust

"leave the sword in the stone" - wisdom personified. Leave all of those axes and daggers out there too.
