their tale...

He walked along the vast terrain
Oblivious to what lay beyond
His search had taken countless years
Yet, his unwavering self kept going on…
His armor kept him safe and estranged
Undeterred, his mettle walked him through

All, but one wound that did not heal
The perforation that did not reseal…
And then,
Something caught his long-lost attention
He followed his sight to the luring outline
She sat very still, composed, almost unhumanly
Her eyes glistening in the shadows…
Her radiance encompassed his being
And he felt weightless, unburdened
As he was lifted across the expanse
Guided to the warmth of her soul…
He felt closer than ever before
Before him, stood the end of a long wait
He succumbed to every feeling inside
There was nothing to fear and nothing to hide…
She looked up at him and smiled
Her eyes narrated stories untold
The indiscernible bond strengthened
As they stood through the years, warm and cold…
The tear in his armor healed itself
Her tears in decades were wiped away
A happiness unheard of bloomed and swayed
Traveled far with time and space
The story of this mighty knight and his damsel
Is talked about to this day…

indebted...

Curling my fingers and hopping away
You readied me to face the world
Then time flew by so quickly, so much
I couldn’t remember the moment they unfurled…
All in a blur, eons swept by
I stood all alone, just one in a million
But it felt unique and it felt so proud
I was in reality, one in a million…
You taught to be one on my own,
You taught me not the tricks or ways
It was the edge, the black and white
I did not need to learn the task
It was imbedded, instilled and cast
I am whom you made me into
You did not wait to accept the gratitude
Forever, always, I am to you
Indebted…
