Notes About The Poem

For my dear friend - Arthur

---

Mon Chevalier

He rides laughter like he owns it
exclamation marks
exhileration online

Mon chevalier galant
who uses music for shield
pen for glaive

Who writes warmth
through cold white days
and sometimes silence

He'll walk out of his books
mon d'Artagnan
to conquer me...

... he thinks. But has forgotten
que je me suis rendu 
il y a longtemps

Freddie Robinson Jr. March 12, 2018 at 2:37 PM Transcendent poetry, Darren. Oh how I miss your poetry. I've been away too long. Friendship remembered is antiquity's oft-requested song. Your pen elevates the spirit, my dear friend. Love and smiles always.
