Joust

Intricate are the patterns that Dream weaves in the darkest realm of my mind; I once saw myself walking along the seashore of gleaming golden sands strewn with sparkling gems. There were women - Fair, bald and beautiful - sprawled naked on the beach groveling at my feet squirming and moaning in the scorching heat of the midday sun. I saw myself standing amid them dressed in a sheik's flowing robe and wearing a bejeweled turban. In my one hand I held a glittering Excalibur and an olive branch in the other. At that moment I saw someone riding upon a giant bald eagle, wearing a suit of armor, swooping down on me from the heavens; In his left hand He clutched a scroll, In his right he held a huge quill like a lance; With the dexterity of a knight He thrust the quill into my heart! ~Contest:Favorite Free Verse Sponsor:Chantelle Anne Cooke ~"Best descriptive Poem" contest Sponsor: A Poet Destroyer
