Co Scott
I'm an admirer
of his love
Not the romantic kind
The kind in our
imaginations
Brought to life
With a chivorous
Knight
A defender of
the poor and
downtrodden
Riding his horse
with his sword
glistening and
well sharpened
Defender of truth
and adoring his
one and only
Woman
By his side
I first met him
Over a year
and a half ago
He was handing
me over to
clearance
The intensity in
his gaze said
I should stand up
and pay attention
This was something
he needed help in
Like his little broken
but talented soldier
I complied
How do you say
no way to a Knight
in shining armour
Who bestows you with
a task at hand and
helps you along the way
This Knight would pop by
every now and again
and ask how it's going
Are you going to finish
this by the end of the day?
I'd say to this Knight
I'm working on it
He'd reply
You know I'm a
Yes or No man
And I'd reply back
Yes I know
But I have my own
way of answering
Saying it ever so
sweetly
His eyes light and he
chuckles as he rides away
A task at hand forming
in his mind to bestow on me
For another day
I didn't realize it
Until after he rode into
the sunset
That these tasks he
bestowed on me
Were for my own benefit
To work on me
To become strong and free
No longer needing
My Knight in shining armour
That all I needed was me
