Carrying me in his arms
protecting me from harm
A knight in shining armor
Damsels in distress
I am no fairy princess...

Chivalry is dead

stationed at the height
Celestial wayfarers of the night
Dancing damsels with the light
Fading phantoms at Phoebes’ sight

Dainty damsels in delicate days
Refined, ruffled and respectable
Exquisite and elegant
Sassy, Swishing, Sashaying
Showing femininity in fashion
Youthful yearning to be pretty...

Damsels in golden frocks,
Dance in warm Spring breezes.
Distinctive trumpet blooms
Dazzle the eyes after
Dreary Winter's grey gloom.
Delightful in bouquets,
Dangerous if eaten....

Lady Guinevere and Sir Lancelot
Trapped in a dungeon, his help she sought --
   Guinevere screamed, she yelled
   But Lancelot, help withheld -- 
Damsels rescued, how quaint ~ This knight sold pot...

DAMSELS

Dozy daisy swaying
Daffodil is praying
Daylily is spying
Don't know what she's eyeing
Dahlia thinks she's a rose
Daphne's happy to pose
Damsels all in their rows

He wanted to spend a life of chastity             
so off he went to a Jesuit seminary                    
till he saw pretty damsels during communion       
and out the window flew his cherished vocation!...

White fairy flowers
                   of sweet romantic fragrance
                   lasts all night,come morn
                   lose colour fragrance and shape
                   fritter as forlorn damsels...

buds smiling in bubbly mirth
lovely damsels of the earth
hidden in emerald veil
wafting sweet aroma in the dale

Lazy rain mown lawn
plenty of falling light
You are my perfect pitch
you are my constellation

Heather on her heath
Damsels and dragonflies
Crossing the bar
There's a strange echoe
Platoons of Granddaughters
Eyes distracted...

wishing you understand
but you only do much less than I do you
I am an alone
and you are a united,
the strange are often damsels
whereas the normal are delighted
by their luck
of not needing,
just knowing,
the smile between two passers by....

 Sentries stationed at the height

Celestial wayfarers of the night

Dancing damsels with the light

Fading phantoms at Phoebes’ sight

O, to be a Hero
    in the good old-fashioned way
  Rescuing damsels in distress
    just in time to save the day

  Where is our shining knight
    astride determined steed
  To free this spend-like-crazy world
    from materialism's need...

Dangerously and dramatic, delightful diamond-clad damsels from Delaware
deviously dazzled dashing dapper dweebs from Des Moines.
Deliberate dallying drained the dullards of their discerning dendrites.
Deeming them deliriously and dubiously devoted....

I say nothing
I do not know the times
Transcendent pictures parade themselves
Charmingly cheering the women of substance
Women never more beautiful
But the beautiful damsels or mere superb
Like Leonardo da Vinci's horse of Sforza equestrian
complete yet unfinished wanting...

Knight in Shining armor 
Such a darling 
Protector of all damsels ...
In distress,  his track record...

Keeping  up the fight 
Safeguarding kingdom lands and the right...

what is why as the metaphoric world
spins fibers once organic now plasmatic 

damsels in drag, boots in high-heels 
dancers swimming in tap-tap-tap

bras in search of breasts of real
nipples slip into a safety net

you sip away at your ghost
i toast with two pills and jello...

We've come across scammers,
white elephants,
damsels in distress,
fake online banks,
false prophets....
At one time in our lives we've thought
that we have neared or reached our
breakthrough,
only for reality to sink in painfully,
reminding us of fool's gold....

      Rise my fellow's
      insert the skies
        the sequoias
        the damsels
 the precious parts of
        your hearts

             Rise
        my fellow's
until the pens flow to
        emptiness
         and then
   purchase another

            Rise 
       my fellow's...

All them famous, very gorgeous
Shining knights and splendid damsels
Some of them in big distress…

Showing dresses, shoes, toxedos
Bow ties and current trends…

All them talking, saying nothing 
That pertains to common folk…
Everyday diurnal struggles…

Still amusing and worth watching
Fascinating gorgeous damsels…
Shining knights in bow ties…...

Bird youths that sang to amuse 
bird damsels that tossed their heads, 
balancing their legs to violins' tune, 
have left me, in rising darkness.

The Harlequins of the night
languish their last aura 
Lilly eyed clowns await
commissioners bleed into tweed
Rivillers  errantly play drums
Damsels failing in their appeal
Adventurers sent back
Running on empty
the night people slide in between

Those old sinners head for the valleys
backing their wasted years 
No prayers are said, just the orbital of silence...

Flowers are charming damsels of the Earth
Popping up everywhere in rapturous mirth
These fairy maidens gladden our hearts
They delight us more than all the arts
Like stars in firmament, on Earth they shine
God alone can their beauteous form design!
