My Black Knight
Metaphysic
To lie awake with you
Or, to sleep, I crave
My heart slows to a fatal beat in repose
My sea, my rain, my earth, my stars
My years fade no sound
But, fade my voice
You have gone grave
Tenderness buried beneath a-salt
On the flesh is experience
I thought, so
What is real?
No Knight beyond a window matters
My Knight in Shining Armour
Episteme
A motion in response to suffering
And Suffrage
And Sex
And Seclusion
Only a lesson in love can be so complete
And shelter a heart stone under blood pacts
An accomplice to com place to common place
And wan wanderlust
How could I know?
Be still a Knight with no view
My Stainless Knight
Ethic
You scold me
You bold thief
How to please you rightly
Before you go, a drift
One gaze should be so close, a gift
Troupe to stage play in-act
A fantasy for thee, three made for two, too
And you won, one
Still a-Miss in tone, and want to win you over
At last, then
How should I live?
A Knight watched alone is not courage
*********
I find myself in trio
Blame it on the fates
Claimed in the city
Under fire frocked gates, and still
Because after all, it inspires me
What other means do we
To get the chemicals moving
So I say unto thee
Let me be your warning
Only such a Lady
Finds herself in mourning
When You Were Mine
