Castrate the King

Take away his crown
Take away his jewels 
Kill his knights
Burn down his castle but

Without his Queen he is nothing

The cursing blank 
pages held
traces  of
knavish hooded

knights riding

forward for the
sake of
scum un-
godly kings.

what wistful phoenix
sleeps within the blood of leaves-

Loving

A generous heart
unveils a reverent care
freed from vanity.
Uniquely the valiant knights
with persistence attain Love.

Chasing illusions

Chasing illusions
I lived my life
turning ghosts
into knights
talking to walls
carrying inside
a strong need 
to be liked.

Premium Member When he closes his eyes

In his little boy’s dreams
Tall sandcastles guarded by dragons
He’s the bravest of knights

The knights that in histories lurk,
They never wore spandex to work.
O’er heroes today
That dress in this way,
The dragons, they snort and they smirk.

Fable-

Fine horses they ride through the glen
A beautiful maid sleeps within
Brambles hold them at bay
Letting love find the way
Even knights give up in the end

How dare that Court grant Hispanics rights?
Mariachi bands
Will ruin Trump's plans
That 4th of July bash for White Knights!

Tensed

Tensed and alone, In may
Envying the raucous day
Not a thing on the bay
Sullun and silently, I lay
Engulfed to the say
Dilirium, a knights, to slay.

integrity
strong and with love

The Maltese falcon born

Premium Member Diamond's Spoon-Less Knights

Like facets of a diamond when held to light,
or ice cream eaten without want or need of spoon.
Visions pass as history regales the knight,
and search continues for the dark side of the moon.

Gossamer wings lift them to freedom

The Jousters

Two knights in the field
One did me no good nor wrong
I am human shield
For the other, great and strong
I could let them wield
Swords in day futile and long
But I to self yield
To preserve hope and my throng.

Quatrain 10 Nightmare

To be alone with no one to love is a nightmare to the rejected.
If only the rejectors would realize what they do.
Their rejections come back to give them true nightmares.
Their knights will not be able to protect them.

Chess

The white and black squares with bishops and knights
Whether English or French, just can't get right
My pieces can't stand his defence
There’s King and Queen, but no Prince
To help me checkmate and end this boring fight

While writing a fine sign trying to be kind
