Knight in shining armour 2nd

Knight in shining armour

That’s what I am

Who galloped into your life astride

A white steed.

Excellent, gallant me indeed.

With silver agleam armour and a sword and lance

You couldn’t resist.... you had no chance.

For my cutting sword I had a ready smile

My lance was warmth and a gentle guile.

My armour was but the caring me and while

We talked and talked and laughed a mile.

With my love I slayed your lone dragon

(which was dying anyway)

And I whisked you off to another life:

In a tornado of compassion.

Is that how it was?

Was I really that bold knight of old?

Or did I plod and bumble about..

Unsure, unconvincing and with lots of doubt

Not galloping... not vital and focussed...

But just letting it happen..  because we wanted it?

I was not your knight in shining armour.

I did not abduct you into a land of riches

To a life of a princess and contentment ever.

No, that wasn’t me, no, never.

It was just me bumbling about.

I am just me.

But if you want virtuous and true

And a love that is forever for you.   Forever.

And romance, honour, fun and humour.

Forsooth! Fair maiden for sures..

I am not a knight in shining armour, but I am yours.
