Knight in not so Shining Armor
Written on: 04.03.22. 1:35pm
A knight in shining armor
Is what many women dream of,
Something very common in fairy tales.
A hero who sweeps away the princess,
The young maiden
From the clutches of villains,
The evil forces.
Does such a knight in shining armor really exist?
Did he ever exist?
A strong knight,
Going through all adversaries
Fighting the enemies,
Fighting through the rain and storm,
Would he even have a shining armor left to behold?
His armor would be riddled with
Scratches, dirt and blood,
Just like his face.
A true knight can never be found,
In a perfect, clean and pristine condition.
He would not have fair skin,
Nor an unscathed body.
He would not be very friendly
Instead he would give off an unapproachable vibe.
As he would always need to be wary
Of his enemies lurking in the shadows,
Not knowing their appearance.
He would be like a rose,
Surrounded by thorns.
Only someone who is not afraid of hardships
Of being riddled with scars from the thorns
Would ever be able to get close to him,
To earn his trust and his affection.
A fair and frail maiden,
Without any tough bone in her,
Can never make such a true knight hers.
A true knight, who is without a shining armor
Is very difficult to find,
Even more difficult to love
And most difficult to get close to.

Frostbitten frozen
White lips chapped
Colossal cold winds
Assuring no pleasure
Fierce fought battle
Skin pieced in broken glass
The sun, a warrior of warmth
Protector of the heated blood
Found surreal survival

"You love her?"
"Yes"
"How much?"
"Enough to let her be happy with another"

Vidya & Saket
As a child without a mother,
I grew up to be a wild berry embraced with thorns as ornaments.
And she with a thirst for adventure,
threw her little hand into the thorny bush,
and plucked me out,
just to rejoice my sweet & sour taste.

Ashes of the Forest Clearing
High above a forest clearing
Are the heedful eyes
Of my golden protector
~
A seething arrow
Burning through the branches
In a crimson storm,
The broad wings of death
In a tormentor's soul
~
Too often
I am turned to fleeting cinders
Lost in the haze of an apocalypse
~
Carried along
In the vise of their talons
Their eyes forever seeking
Finding few signs of life

Read MoreThey bloom under the dark shadow.
Inhaling hatred and suffocation in them.
Brutal behaviour were taught to them, but by the end they fix those devasted pieces that they had destroy.
They goes to the shallow under a dark sky searching for the star for brightest shine.
Within an unknowing step they didn't know the star was just growing inside them between their heart.
They weren't cruel even thought they were taught to.
Sparkle bloom when they judge what's right and wrong to.
Became people's shield by protecting them from bloody hue.
As they were no one but the knights of our Kingdom.

Read MoreClearly not a poem or even story. I just wanted to express my love for my partner in life and decided to just post it. It's just my experience.

Some reasons why I love you and will always love you ❤️
The way you caught the snake in our backyard, bravely, with no hesitation to protect our little dogs and me. And most importantly, the kind way you drove to a vacant field to release it unharmed. Similarly, the way you trapped the mommy, daddy, and baby rat and drove into the wilderness and released them unharmed, and with some food to start their new lives together.
The way you look at our first born doggy as if she owns you (which she does). The way you spend money we don't have on a tiny tiny parrot so she will have all the toys, houses and foods and vitamins and vet care she needs. How you lay there patient ly letting her pull and tug your beard hairs as she preens you with adoration.
The way you help me when my body fails. Bring me ice packs or rub my head, back and neck in absolutely all the right places without me saying where.
How you let me stay home while you work to support us. This is huge and so selfless of you. The way you stayed with my Abuelita, in her kitchen that year the family was screaming and scaring her. How you held her hand and comforted her and then on top of that, you stood up for me and got me out of harm's way. No one had ever stood up for me before. I will never forget those loving gestures.
The way you drove me to all my doctor's appointments after I could no longer do it myself.
How you told me everything was going to be ok, and it was.
How you used to hold me through the night until your arm fell asleep and still you kept on holding me. How you hugged me and let me cry into your chest after my night terrors took my mind and wouldn't let go of it.
How you accepted my brokenness, even though you had no understanding of the how's or why's.
How you called me a rockstar each time I clumsily plunked out a 3 chord song on an out of tune guitar. How you then would faithfully tune my guitar because I refused, stubbornly, to learn. Maybe because I wanted that connection with you.
How you dance with my son, the rescue pigeon, to the radio and coo at him so he has joy in his day. Or how you tenderly, and carefully trim his beak when it overgrows. Talking to him so he isn't scared. Or how you worked so hard to build him his two giant houses so he could still fly without the hawk taking him.
How you used to run your warm fingers up and down my back to comfort and love me.
How you never ever leave without saying you love me. How I never need to worry that you might abandon me. How you tell my insecure mind that you aren't going anywhere, you are here to stay.
How you used to throw the ball for the puppy in the yard and watch her race to me and then back and forth. How you cared and loved my soulmate dog when we first started dating. How you still love him even though he is long passed. I never thought anyone else could love him as much as I did, but you did. How you lifted him up when he couldn't jump, snuggled him inside your sweatshirt when it was too cold in our rented room with no heat. How you woke early to lift him out the window so he could have his morning pee.
The way you love the animals I love has made me love you more and more each day.
The way you forgive me for getting angry sometimes. You forgive so easily. The way you have never screamed at me. You've never raised a hand to me, never once called me a cruel name or even cussed at me.
You take care of me when I can't care for myself and encourage my creative ideas.
You keep me surrounded with my animals because you know that is my happiness in this world.
You listen to me ramble about the jumping spiders I love and look at photos I take and compliment me. Even though I'm aware they all must look the same to you.
You are kind, gentle and loving.
You are so strong, smart and handsome. You are a puzzle solver, thinking outside the parameters set by others.
You are a creator.
You are a lovely person. I wish we had more time to have adventures in nature. A hike a sunset or stars.
You bought me a motorhome, my absolute dream. You worked so hard trying to fix it up. It's my bucket list. Without you I never would have been able to get it.
Thank you, for being yourself. Thank you for sharing parts of you with me.
I love and appreciate you sharing this life with me for these past 11 years. I could not have survived without your tender care. Thank you, with all the gratitude I have. I love you.
For M.K.C.
My partner in this world.

Jupiter
Cyclopian giant
Elliptical path
Dwarf all others
Lord of Olympus
Vigilant in the night
Guards the sunlight children
A debt owed
Protectorate of our heavens
Invaders beware
Drawn into its cloak
Never seen again.

Fluorescent lights blurring her vision
Constant clicks blazing her ears
Cloaked crowds and their gibberish making her dizzy
She feels her wobbly legs will give up soon
The talk of dethroning her punched her core
A firm grip on her waist lingered a bit
A pale face with burning fury
black n red hooded, more like a shadow in light
He stood before bold and stiff
She placed her head on his back an assuring affection was there
Her SHIELD to protect, her armor to defend!!!

August Was
August Is
Well
October is coming
Now is the month
July reminds me
And here is August.
August was a fury.
His blue, wicked eyes
Undressed my mind
Whenever we'd meet
He could read my thoughts.
My body
In perpetual anticipation
Of his
Near me.
His low growling voice
Pricked chills up
On the soft nape of my neck.
He bit there
Never drawing blood
But as if to carry me away
Like a lion
With tender cub in sway
To safety
Away from where I might
Hurt myself.
And though I have always been
The cub to his lion-like ways
It was more passionate
Than paternal.
We longed for each other
Like the characters I scribed
Or the lifelike sketches
And paintings he created
With those strong beautiful hands.
Our fire spanned decades.
It's orange-yellow flames
Burned on in secret parts of us.
We had only once chance
Long ago
To be together
Age has erased what went wrong or why
Neither of us cared. The fire, the Magnet the pull of stars and suns
Still gravitated us to one another.
I kept remembering the way that July sun lit up your blond beard
Your lips within
Buried there
And how I wanted them on mine
Like needing air
I needed you.
Ours was not a consistent type of knowing
As years passed
We stay vanished and silent
Until we don't
Then it all comes back to
how it was
As if I am sitting too close to you at that table
Me in my 20's: the huntress
And you needing fixing
I watched you sketch
My character
So effortlessly
So full of talent
To make paper and pencil seem real
You started with the negative space, and went from there.
I liked the scratchy sounds your pencil made against
The paper
as my stomach reacted to your handsome face with such excitement and energy.
But beyond the primal, physical wanting
was a deep connection.
We saw each other and then we simply became. Like links in chain, one needing the other to be.
You have always been that to me. Over 20 years and nothing about us dims. I'm still your number one fan and you still cut me with a loving truth only you can deliver. I trust in you. More than others. I cherish you more than others. Our history is testament to our connection.
And I'm not deluded. We know we are both disasters in different ways, and that is OK. That is called acceptance, or love, or something close enough to desire.
It's valuable.
August, you are breathtaking.
I'm still in awe. As are you. I love that for us. Shouldn't we all have someone so perfectly imperfect to hold onto?
I'm so grateful.
Eternally yours, m.

LOVE = BRINGS OUT BEST IN YOU
Love shouldn't be exhausting. It shouldn't leave you feeling stressed out, less than and unappreciated. Love is supposed to be free, natural and almost a complete release from the monotony and routines of life. Real love won't leave you drained, it won't leave you depressed, lost or distraught. Love is a healer, love is a friend and love is a protector. Loving isn't easy, it's a challenge. But when it's good , it's a treasure. Real love won't break you, it will build you and it will bring out the best in you.

Brother
Boy is brother
He won’t bother
About them
Brother is the 2nd father
Of every sister
Sister shares their problems
With brother
Brothers solves sisters problem
Few of them will read it
Few of them will do it
Sisters are the fighters
Brothers are hard workers
In every family it will be true8 1

Fedora brim down
Concealed power beneath,
He walks, a wild card.
Key clicks in the lock
Though time is half past somber
His thoughts are sober.
An abandoned pub
Whiskey bottle and cigar
The chess game begins.
Silent pawns moving
Careful where you choose to play
For he named the game.
Lighting up a smoke
He sits beside the table
Walls lean in to watch.
A voice with timbre
That rumbles within his chest
Echoes stop to listen.
Fireplace crackles
He hums a tune of the past
Flames lean in to swoon.
Goblets clink and talk
Of black and white photographs
While jazz and swing play.
Weathered hands, bronze, firm
Examine the drink, thoughtful
Long drafts from sweet smoke.
Black white suit and tie
The records sway and dance for
This mystery man.

She keeps her heart
Beneath her sleeves
And trails of ink blots
Is all that she leaves
In the wake of her stride
As she hops on her ride
Zooming down the highway
For a chance to go hide.
But she knows her own right
And she'll put up a fight
And hover if she has to
Like a nighttime satellite
If she flashes you the bird
She doesn't mean to be unkind.
She's still just searching
For her own peace of mind.
She believes somehow
Her feelings are inferior
Though she hides it well
Under that leather exterior.
But she isn't so bad
If you really get to know her.
Her intentions are true
She's a catch, that 22.
©spadesunderground12 1 2
He's stars in his eyes
His heart a bright blue
From fighting through the lies
To get to what's true.
Ambitious and bold
Though at times, a bit cold.
Inside him, it's warm
At least that's what I am told.
Yea, maybe there's
A little bit of venom
Hidden under
All that denim
But give him a pen
And he'll write for us
Give him a sword
And he'll fight for us
Yeah we know for sure
That he's right for us
Protector till the end.

Her Ruthless Protector
Shining unseen lonely star
In the morning sky.
The ball of fire
Tried burning her,
Got burned by flames
Stronger even than the sun.
The moon got closer
To make her shiver
On the cold January night,
Got frozen by coldness,
Snow storm in the sky,
By an unseen figure.
Spectators enjoyed her falling,
Fell on thorn bushes.
The sweet roses tried piercing,
Got pierced, damaging beauty,
Cruelty unveiled,
By a thorn stronger than any.
Fragile flowers didn't bother,
No one ever mattered.
But those unseen teardrops
Made him shiver for the first time.
Fear in his heart,
True identity revealed.
Emotionless demon was hiding
A vulnerable heart.
Gangster was shedding
Tears hidden from the world.
Dirty mouth was hiding
Heaven of lovely words.
Everything seemed useless,
Everyone tasted poisonous,
She was his pious drink,
The gifted charm
Of stardust to be shaped
And fit into his hollow, heartless cage.
