Dreams of Knights and Castles

When longings and reveries are captured 
    in moments of fantasy
As you gaze into a starry night
dreaming of crimson Knights and Castles
Wishing to be saved from the flames of dragons
and seeking visions of a lover with noble blood
Walking with you through a castle's keep
    towards a garden of beauty
Where a rose is plucked and placed in your hand
    as a treasured gift of romantic yearnings
Allowing your heart to drift away on clouds
    into the heavens
As you are carried in the arms of a Knight
    through the halls of the castle
where torches shine on the cobbled stones
to light the way to love's embracing call
These are the dreamings of your heart
and the romantic pagentry of your soul

I felt like I was living in a mystical world -- beautiful and captivating poem. I especially liked the last two lines.
