** A Knightly Warrior *** -In Top 500 Poems

He sees, Tonight, a vitreous calm sea Tourmaline foams kiss Waves lap furtively Those torpid shores Tide is sibylline A beaming moon Shines in private Signals love to her. But, She’s lonely Hears nothing Sees nothing Lost and tired Desolate and forlon Confused and dejected What should she do? Await Florentine results Or wait for Virginia’s wines Cross the Thames Or cross the orient’s ocean Ah! ! ! ! Is this love? Tell her Lord Or is it just object d’art Don’t lie Is it a gimcrack prank Like in a land of dreams She’s swept With confused alarms Of pain and stress Of miserly and darkness of night That animal love In a zoo of monkeys And kangaroos and Rabbits and dolphins And ofcourse with Mosquitos galore Just waiting to sip her purpled blood How far will it be gone It’s a melancholy Long and distant north sea. Like naked shingles-his words Beaming in the moonlight For he took his vulpine dagger in hand Swirling, blood spattering A warrior in true fashion Like a knight of the round tables Anoints her head, a talisman A piece de resistance, he said So that his beams confine In compliments to hers ANJALI 20-03-2009 (This is from a story that I read - a true story of a warrior and a country belle. The girl was in love with a prince whose family did not approve of her- until she meets a warrior-who in true warrior fashion woos her-now shes confused for shes given so much of her life to that prince and she does not know how much more to wait) .
