Blogging from A to Z Challenge - Letter K (Knight in Shining Armour)

4/12/2015

For today's post for the Blogging from A to Z Challenge, I'm sharing a poem I wrote yesterday. K is for Knight in Shining Armour. I had thought of choosing the obvious topic to fit my love theme - Kiss - but I have kind of covered that one in this post on Intimacy already...

Knight in Shining Armour (poem)

I want a knight in shining armour
To sweep me off my feet
Who rides a white horse to battle
But knows when to accept defeat

I want Prince Charming to be all mine
And surprise me anew each day
I want a man who knows what he wants
But also lets me have a say

I want a king who holds me captive
But is susceptible to my spell
Who showers me with attention
And knows all my quirks too well

I want a knight in shining armour
To get down on his knees
Who worships the ground I walk on
And knows just how to please

I want Prince Charming at my beck and call
Turning the ladies a jealous shade of green
I want a man who knows his worth
But cherishes the power of his queen

No, let me rephrase my wishes
I want a hero in my life
Who chooses me as his wife
Because he cannot live without me
And is as perfect as a man can be
With all the flaws a human has
I want someone to love me so much
That he needs no shining armour, no white horse and no palace
Because he’s got my heart, and I own his

I need such a knight too. You spoke my thoughts. :D
But does one such paragon exist in today's world? Sigh!

Sneakily, your poems walk into my heart.
This is exactly how I visualise my heroes. Awesome :D

Devika, what lovely descriptions of knights, princes and kings, but I love the way you have blended their qualities into the perfect hero, who is all too human and lovable! Kudos!

Doesn't everyone dream of such knight & so many crave for similar princes :P

You are wonderful writer and that makes me keep coming back reading such beautifully crafter pieces.....

Nice one. When you were writing about the Knight in the shining armour, I was about to say...let me know if you find one...then you mentioned about the hero :)
