Romancing the Knight

By rcpollitz

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

The knight was a child of the earth,the dragon a tenant of the air,Would it be that the two should meet,a friendship formed so rare.The dragon once alit on ground became a maiden fair,With flowing arms where once were wings,with sun kissed flaxen hair.They danced upon an elfin’s grave,one unturned mossy stone.They vowed to never walk apart,to wander not alone.Oh fatuous knight of all I’ve found,that claim to favor me,Would you lift me back into the air,that I might again soar free.Beneath the slowly spreading oaks,the knight was seen to cry,As he took the maiden by the hand,she vaulted towards the sky.Once again the dragon flew,with the knight still held in tow,His armor dropped back to the ground,as the dragon let him go.To his surprise he refused to fall,his arms turned into wings.Together they were tenants of the air,as the element of love would bring.Their love would soar as high as they,as true as ever found.Child of the earth, and tenant of the air,in love forever bound.
