Gone is the knight. (A Poem)

Last week I had a lovely visitor here from a woman named 'Jingle'. She invited me to participate in The Poetry Potluck.

At Poetry Potluck... Every week, MckLinky will be up (at the Poetry Potluck blog) on Sunday, at 8pm (CST), and will stay open till Tuesday, 8pm (CST). So you will have 48 hours to share up to 3 poems with us...WONDERFUL!!

It is what I find so inspiring about this place. People pop in with lovely invitations, leaving behind gems -- little morsels that lead to places of wonder, like all the poets already linked at The Poetry Potluck blog.

Immerse yourself in some wonder and link on over to Poetry Potluck to check out all the offerings. They're mighty nurturing and nourishing for the soul!

And, while you're there... let yourself be inspired to create a poem or two to share!

Gone is the Knight

Where are you now
my knight in shining armour?
I searched for you
and lost
myself
between the turning pages
of once upon a time
where white knights
leaped
across the void
to sweep me away
upon a new dawn rising
on the rosy promise
of Prince Charming
riding in on a horse
named
Happily Ever After.

Long gone
are the white knights
of happily ever afters
yet sometimes
at night
when the moon
lies
high
its golden orb
punched out
drunk upon the light
of a thousand stars
pinned haphazardly
upon night's dark blanket
I lie awake
and dreaming
waiting
for you
to streak across the sky
and fill the void
with dreams of
happily ever after.
