A knight and a lady~ Long, long ago,
Love for them ~ Never showed,
Stolen moments ~ Shared by two,
Even their families never knew,
These moments were never shared,
A lovers tryst ~ Silence declared,
Conversations were almost nil,
Silence at night ~ Only bodies feel,
Time was sparse ~ Truth was known,
The knight would never take his lady home,
Yet, she held on to all of her dreams,
Knowing her knight ~ Lived right up stream,
He was always close ~ And always far,
She believed in her knight and falling stars,
Moments to minutes ~ Minutes to hours,
Praying her knight ~ Would scale her tower,
Days to weeks ~ Weeks to years,
Her in and out knight ~ Never saw her tears,
Still she waits ~ Still she believes,
Still she prays ~ Still she grieves,
The knight and lady ~ Find their space,
Happiness reigns ~ With Gods Grace,
The knight and his lady ~ Found time was good,
They learned to laugh and talk as they should,
Time was for them ~ Became easy and flowed,
Not perfect ~ But together on lifes road,
The knight and his lady lost looks with age,
Wrinkles and weight ~ Plagued this stage,
The lady not looking ~ Feeling secure,
Was truly shocked ~ When her knight left her,
Gone ~ Just gone ~ He never said why,
Yet, he wonders back ~ And asks to retry,
He wants to wander and rove again,
He wants his lady ~ To take him back in,
Sharing her knight ~ His lady cant do,
Because she loves him ~ She bids him adieu.

ah yes .. quite the predicament. There is something so intimate about this piece
that almost makes me feel guilty to read it. Like I'm eavesdropping or something.
God, I ADORE this line ..
"He was always close ~ And always far"
Damn! How torturous. And the last line nearly does this reader in. Sad and painful
but still amazingly beautiful. Great post!
