The Knights Reward-The Sequel To Redemption Knight

Dragon slain, all set aright
Maiden held in arms so tight  
His blue eyes saw future bright
They reached the castle by night

Bathed and dressed in virgin white
To bedchamber she did alight
He was moved and moaned outright
Suppressed passion did ignite

He forgot what to recite
Every word had taken flight
How she glowed in candle light
He tried to temper his might

With each caress ever slight
He raised her to wondrous height
The night shimmered with delight
Heaven burst upon her sight

How her body did excite
He loved her through day and night
Hopes and dreams she did incite
T’was she who had saved the knight

my personal opinion, this is better than the last, its what every armour knight wants only a few could reach it.

WOW! Thanks for the comment! I really appreciate it. Actually, this was a part of the first one, but the change of rhyme begged for it to be a poem on its own! Thanks for the visit, my dear!

Mr Seal....you have returned from our travels to FAR OFF KINGDOMS! :) Glad to have you back. It is the damsel who is lucky enough to have a man fight to death to win her heart, hand, and soul....Knights are an endangered species me thinks! What say you?

Ha ha you kill me, the knight must be exhausted. They say once a king always a king. Once a knight is enough. Thanks for taking my suggestion. Enjoyed the sequel.
