Amour

Amour 
comes with its price
masked armour
worn fiercely
by dark nights

eventually
lifted
for love or folly

facing what’s 
in front of you 
the past 
dark knights
removed

the once broken 
now unbreakable
the veiled
amour 
unveiled

Armour 
comes with its price
arrives brandishing 
like a sword its prize
delivers its secrets

all in good time 

gauntlets 
thrown down 
wrists and palms 
exposed, holding out
for the crown 

all for Amour
the darkest night
light shining knight 
bare faced and naked
at a Sovereign's feet 

eventually
kneels down






Candide Diderot. ‘24
