Spousal Knight
the music played,
in an unbalanced way.
teenager spins her around,
as if she were sixteen years old.
so many moons, have danced since then.
the room blurs with wedding guests.
she imagines them all watching,
her formal dress picking up speed.
caught in a whirlwind, she falls -
fearful and embarrassed.
her knight, who shines with armor
~ only one she trusts ~
straddles over her,
as if he has a cape that covers her,
blocking out the sunlight.
no one stares, as she seeks those knowing pupils.
his strong masculine hands pull her to her feet,
his warm romantic arms ~ shield her ~ from harm.
he’s been her date for more than fifty years.
she trusts his love, her fate in her spouse's embrace.
