FROM FAIRY TALES TO PIXIE DUST

A Poem by DONALD EISSLER

A look back on this Knights words or montage of sorts.. a little piece of me left in every stanza

I HAVE WRITTEN MANY THINGS

From fairy tales to pixie dust.
And babies in a mothers womb.
Even written about the tempter.
And the Bibles coming doom.

Wrote about a mountain top,
Where I almost touched the sky.
Wrote about how I lost my son,
With many a teardrops in my eye.

Even wrote about my dog.
Who is still sitting by my side.
Wrote about loves I've lost.
And a yellow rose that died.

Then a lady in a cowboy hat,
How she really turned my head.
Really thought I loved her.
Should have stayed at home instead.

Wrote about ones eloquence.
And the way she could excite.
How her breast of alabaster
Did keep me up all night.

Wrote about a dress once worn.
It was periwinkle blue.
And just how sad I really was,
When she said that we were through .

Wrote about my Unicorn.
Yes his name was Dream.
Took me over rainbows.
We did make quite a team.

Wrote how I slayed the dragons.
Some do say I was the best.
Even when so deep inside,
I laid them all to rest.

Yes once I was a Knight,
Shiny armor I did bear.
The tempter got the best of me
Now tarnished I do wear.

Though all the words I write
Come not only from my heart.
I do so hope they touch you.
For that's the most important part.

I really want to thank you all
For reading what I write.
Without your words of kindness,
There would be no Tarnished Knight
