Excellent
Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted
When battles are done and our races run.

Shining Knight Of Mine

by LisaMay

 


Day’s dramas depart
when you shield me in your arms.
Shining knight of mine, 
I hold you so dear.

Bonded in union,
we embrace each other 
and our future 
with faithful promises made
to protect our castle of dreams,
built on solid rock.

Steadfast in a storm,
fully there to care and share,
you’re my rainbow in sunshine,
my laughter in funtime.
Tenderness is ours.

When battles are done and our races run,
we’ll be together through eternal time.
I’ll trust until the end.

Author's Note:
The photo may seem an odd choice. Some people hate these destructive beetles.
Don't take a photo choice so literally. What does it represent?
I chose it because other photos would show conventional notions of love and togetherness. To me, the beetles look somewhat like shield beetles, referencing words in my poem. This photo also represents that love comes in all shapes and variations. It is not a matter of one-size-fits-all. Love is a battlefield - are they courting or fighting? Hopefully, they will make up if they are fighting.
