Savior;

The Knight and his Princess/

He beheld her, imprisoned within a monstrous edifice;

golden locks cascading fluidly over the bleak stone surface.

One day, the knight would liberate her she knew;

believing in his serenades and promises of sacrifice. 

All of which the Knight spoke suave and untrue.

Days brimming with longing and anticipation,

golden strings littered the floor in frustration.

Despair dawned heavily upon her heart,

while he despaired not, occupied with women and gin.

He knew they were destined to forever be apart.

Though the knight may seem so he wasn't heartless,    

only trounced greater than words could express.

Varnish coated armor, his heart akin, weathered and tarnished.

It appears the knight has been through may a battle and not just with his hands. His heart may have turned cold from the many internal battles at the hands of more than one princess. His soul and empathy have become hardened as a result. You express yourself quite adequately. Good job.

You hear it exactly as it's been told. I'm glad I can get the meaning of my work across so clearly without the need to sound out each letter. Thank you for the review!

My pleasure.

Doesn't have the feel good fairy tale ending I was expecting But well written my Friend in poetry. I like the Days Brimming with Longing and Anticipation- Great line.
