The Knight and the Lady

You're my Knight and I'm you're Lady
a medieval flash in time not maybe
your nobility conquers any quest
with armor and sword dressed

Remove all apparel you need it not
for you've won the battle you have fought
leave your saber in the stone
magic comes from inside hence thrown

And the ruler will also disarm
to you I'd never harm
defenseless you are to exalt
cavalier without assault

Our virtue exposes all infrequent prosperity
excluding obnoxious barbarity
Your lord and vassal can retreat to isolation
drop coif and shield and leave all avocation

You take me back to one of the most exciting periods in British history, Angela. King Arthur and other knights and ladies were often part of my ripe imagination! ~ Best regards // paul

"leave the sword in the stone" - wisdom personified. Leave all of those axes and daggers out there too.
