Dream Sequence

Drifting off into a black space To a land not far away I see visions of another world Where only kings and queens can play There are jesters in the courtyard There are dragons all around I can feel my astral body Being pulled down to the ground Suddenly I'm standing In the corner of a room Where a princess is preparing To wed the king of doom I can see she isn't happy With her future groom to be I feel I've got to save her From a life of misery I go and stand beside her I hold my hand up to her face She turns and looks upon me With a haunting style and grace I take her hand and lead her To a stairway down the hall Where we use a secret passage Hidden in the castle wall It leads us to the courtyard Where we find a steed of white We quickly climb upon it And we ride into the night **** A man in shining armor Kicks me from my sleep He tells me I must fight him For the honor of his king I see the princess crying And shaking with the fear That fate will turn against her If I lose the battle here So I take the sword he hands me And prepare to make my stand When I see a flash of silver Coming from his armored hand The battle rages onward For and hour from the start Till at last I pierce the metal And stop the beating of his heart The princess comes to thank me For the deed that I have done She says that I'm a hero With the victory that I've won She reaches for her necklace And she gently takes it off It holds the royal emblem Of the House of Amberlot I know she can't go with me And she knows I cannot stay So she gives me one last kiss Before she slowly fades away **** The morning sun awoke me With a bright and blinding ray So I went to close the curtains And begin a brand new day As I started getting ready I thought about my dream And smiled at the notion That I might have been a king When I went to pick my watch up From the little bedroom stand I picked up something different And held it in my hand What I held was a medallion Made of gold and finely cut And the emblem carved upon it..... ... Was from the House of Amberlot Rockman

I wasn't expecting to like that. Though it's not my type of story normally... the way you tell it changes everything. Nice! Hey will you check my meter on Baptized in equality? No one is reading the poem and I poured it all out on that poem. I thought it was good. While I admit,( I got a little careless with a cpl other poems.) You should start charging for edits, and Title yourself "ROCK, the Meter Reader"
