Poem
A young maiden fair and slender of great beauty and rose complexion Was gathering wild flowers in a forest when an angel to her appeared Gently she flew down and softly whispered in the virgin maiden’s ear You are the chosen one and your destiny it is to save the Black Knight High on a Cliff he stands alone in deep despair cursed by the Gods and fate Only a true loving heart can save this mortal from all of hells damnation Take this silver dagger, and child use it well, smite all evil and set him free The angel then turned and disappeared as quickly as she had come A vision then came and the maiden was able to gaze upon the black Knight A man of grand statue and true beauty with sad dark penetrating haunting eyes The virgin maiden’s heart it stirred as desire and longing enveloped her soul Her Knight was held captive by demons and bound by chains of steel and gold They hissed and snarled as if their screams came from the depths of hell She could hear the knight’s distressed silent cries and felt his despairing agony on wings of angels she was lifted up past impenetrable talon rocks to his tortured side As fallen angels held him back, demons screamed and flaming fire on her breathed Hatred and loathing spewed out on her as huge black ravens pecked at her eyes Brandishing the dagger she bravely challenged monsters, demons and ravens all The monsters and demons then ripped at her flesh, their teeth drawing blood and skin Brandishing the dagger she bravely challenged each fiend and evil spirit one by one She fought with such overpowering strength she knew not she possessed As one by one demon and monster fell unable to overcome her true abiding love Then the black howling devils of the night appeared even then she had no fear Swiping at her adversaries she stood her ground, and plunged the dagger deep Unable to cause more agonizing torment they soon faded in the depth of night As released tortured souls screamed out for salvation and for eternal peace As one by one her black knight’s captors were defeated by her love alone Suddenly all screaming and hideous cries abated and peace then reigned She gazed up into his soft gentle smoldering eyes her wounds forgotten As he wrapped her in his arms and blessed the gods and all above All his great agony and fears dissipated as the stars softly blessed their love And on the cliff he gently kissed his maiden fair as an angel’s choir sang The moonlight bathed them in light, as united they became as one in Paradise.
