I've spent my lifetime
Trying to fix the flaws
Those about me
Spend theirs
Pointing out for me.
I learned...
A new language....to listen....
To the wonder of me.
You've come to me,
Like a night shining in
Armour; your coat of male
Slung over your shoulder,
Your helmet in hand.
And though your steed
Rolls on wheels,
This heart you still claim.
For you, I asked.
You, who tell me
The song of me;
Confirm, compel,
Love me.
Children in a tree-fort
We play, touching foreheads,
Exchanging secrets,
Whispers,
Giggles,
Sighs.
So kind and compassionate
The mirror of your eyes
Shows me all
That I thought impossible.
I can only wish
That the wonder of you
Never ceases to amaze me;
That this bond that grows
Stronger daily,
Is stronger ever more.

Oh wow, I really like this! I like how it hints at past relationships, then conveys a readiness with this new one, like it's the real deal. The pun/knight imagery was also really good. With the childhood stanza, is that literal, or saying this love makes you feel like a kid? (or is it one of those 'up to your own interpretations' things...?) Either way this is an excellent piece. Great write and good luck in the contest!

This is very complex. It travels a broad spectrum. I will have to make sure to read this a few more times to feel that I've absorbed all that this poem has to offer. I'll be interested to Read more of your stuff in the future.
