Farewell; Fairy-tale, hello reality. It’s been sweet,
like honey, brown sugar…But
now you must depart; white Knight,
In armour strong and bright,
this princess has cut off her hair,
no longer needs you there.
Journey home, valiant saviour,
full of courage, good intentions.
Remove your armour,
put down your shield,
your part in this fight is over.
I watch you ride off into the distance..
..horse back, an unused sword in my place
on the saddle.
I weep for the moment, but I smile in the hope,
Soon you’ll be in my sight again.
I make my own way down the tower,
Without my knight there to catch me..this time.
My journey, alone begins.
My only companion, The Sun
Leaves me cold, abandoned.
Nearing my goal, she returns
warm beams of kindness melt my icy skin
breaking me loose of the winter wrath..
revealing my inner most form..
out comes the truth, the honesty and the beauty.
I journeyed a far to your castle,
Finally, I am there.
One more night then you’re mine a voice says
So I venture into the gardens…
To find a place to rest..
I reach the gardens, a bed of roses.
I curl up as the Sun goes down.
Followed by eyelids, eye lashes
I shiver in my sleep for you,
in the dark, I call out to you through dreams.
In these dreams we kiss the stars,
pick them from the night.
Look from your high Tower I pray,
Notice me here, amongst the roses.
Save me one last time, but no…
As each thorn pierces my new skin,
the white petals become red…
My skin like the white was.
The Sun slowly rises to a new day,
I sleep unnoticed, alone like my journey.
I awake, run to your doors,
With arms wide open I take you.
I kiss your wounds, cradle your heart,
and squeeze you breathless, tight.
The fight is over, returned to you
A warrior; princess.

wow this poem won me over we exquist lines such as 'I shiver in my sleep for you,
in the dark, I call out to you through dreams.
In these dreams we kiss the stars,
pick them from the night.' lovey imagery throughout - good work! |

I have to agree with the lines overstated chose. I adore those too.
I absolutley love the first and second verses/stanzs the most, they do the poem well.
