My Knight
( This was first written in 2001 right before my accident, and was published in a magazine.)
A shimmering knight
On a gallant steed
Waiting on hillside far
I spy a shining star
On his banner’s flight.
Through the mists of time so traveled
He has come so far.
We knew each other so long ago
On the night of shooting stars.
Not knowing how far we must travel
Deeds that needed sown
I see him coming
So noble and true
His steed fly’s toward me on swift feet.
As He stops inches from me
A smile on my lips
We have waited centuries
For this long awaited kiss.
My frozen past is over
Together, Life has begun
We travel, toward the sun.
This was written because I used to see him when I was 19 at a store I went to and thought he was cute.
At 25 We met at a store I was running and he asked me out. Only later, did I find out that he was the “cute guy”
from years before.
He had to leave out of state for a while, and so I posted this to remind him that sometimes, waiting is a good thing.

You are a true romantic, aren’t you? This was a nice read. Thanks for posting! (Please don’t be offended if I point out a typo – it’s one of my habits that I have had a hard time breaking – “gallant stead” should be “gallant steed,” “his stead fly’s toward me on swift feet,” if I understand your intentions for the line, should probably be: “his steed flies toward me on swift feet.”
I really enjoyed this poem, and I thank you for sharing; I hope I haven’t hurt your feelings. Let me know if you would rather I not do this sort of thing in future. BTW, please point out my errors when you find them. It’s so hard to see my own mistakes, so I appreciate a “good eye!”
Romantic, nice.
I love a happy ending 🙂
Sounds like the wait was worthwhile.
