Sir Iliad Keys• Show poetry

Hail and well met!

Thanks for stopping by. I am a servant of the One True King, freshman in college, fun-loving, poetry-writing guy. (among lots of other things.) And if you didn't notice, I love medieval history.


My works all come from life experience, so they are widely varied as life itself. I write about Love, Pain, Loss, Nature, Life, People, Stories, and anything else that comes to mind. Or doesn't.

Feel free to read my works, sign my guest book, or message me.

One of my biggest philosophies in life is: CHIVALRY
It is my belief that the world is currently devoid of most any respect for women, ideals, integrity of others, and lots of other things. Knighthood may not have been as glamorous as it is made out to be, but the ideals that it represented are Definitely worth living up to.

Why can't guys act like gentlemen anymore? Why are women treated so poorly? Why do values matter so little?
I'll get off the soap box now... but I hope you agree.

+==}=========* A Knight's Code *========={==+

As a knight I so swear to:
Uphold the right, even at the cost of my life
Meter even handed justice, tempered with mercy
Assist and defend others
And to strive to act with honor at all times.

The Knight’s word must be the word of truth
Therefore, when I must give my word in bond I'll keep it.

Be honest with others, and have them know
That honesty is likewise expected of them.

Consider the consequences of my actions for others.
Strive to do no harm, regardless of the harm done to me.

Pledge my friendship to those who warrant it
And support others in their need
That they may support me when I am in need.

Be loyal of hand and mouth, seeking by God’s grace
To serve every soul as best I may.

I must protect the lives of women and children
Though it cost my mine own life.

Treat all ladies with respect and honor.
Defend and cherish them in perfect purity
For they are the completer of man.

Promote faith in Jesus Christ
As Lord and King and Savior
And protect those who seek to worship in His name
Anywhere upon the face of this earth that He has made.

I understand that a knight following
this High Path of Chivalry must be
above reproach in the eyes of the world.
For only then will the darkness be lifted.

This, as a Knight, I swear:
To rightly hold and exercise my knighthood,
To act with integrity and honor all my days.
To remain true to my King and His Kingdom.
Christ to honor, after my best power, so help me God.
