Dear Knight(Sonnet)

Painting by Fine Art Tapestries Leighton's Godspeed Maiden Knight

My lips are lonely without thee dear knight

'Tis not thine enemy that I doth fear,

Whilst mine heart is weary by candlelight

Thy bones ache with each and every tear.

Without thee my moistened lips shall wither

Thus; a mere thorn without a crimson rose,

Henceforth, my beloved, do come hither

Before sweet petals of thy heart dost close.

My knight with sword, shining armour and blood

In pale moonlight my ears hearest thou cries,

Thee lips bid adieu, sweet kiss of rosebuds

Thou art now but a bright star in thine eyes.

Thy feathered quill upon red parchment stains,

Teardrops and blood ink flow whilst moonlight wanes.
