He Rides Into The Night
He rides forever, through the night
for an enchantment has bound his heart
he allowed his love to slip through his hands
and now they are, eternally apart
His foolishness has chained his mind
so, into forever he must now ride
to break the spell of his thoughtless deed
with only loneliness at his side
The icey cold of the ruling dark
bites sharply, right through his frame
its bitterness is too hard to bear
as he calls upon her name
He knows not if she'll answer him
he knows not, to expect her soft reply
for he had shattered all hopes and dreams
feeding emptiness, into the bitter night
The moon gives him no solace
for he abandoned its magic long ago
now it only looks down, fleetingly
to make his journey, that much more alone
He rides forever, through the night
wishing for his misery to be relieved
but he only need to call upon
the power, of the dreams he once believed

very good
A beautiful and touching work surely everybody life had such
moments the poem expresses that moments in a beautiful manner -
Wish I could have seen the picture! Loved the poem, especially the last stanza: "He rides forever, through the night wishing for his misery to be relieved but he only need to call upon the power, of the dreams he once believed." Beautiful!

Awwwwww...very well done! Everything you touch is magical my friend. Jumps right from the pages. As always this one is another great one. I believe if everyone opened up to their own spirit, they'd all be good at something and feel much better. We all know you have opened your's by the poems you write. Great job my dear friend...Rubee Spirit!!! ~Bud~

An altogether stunning piece of work here, Penny... I loved it. I feel his sorrow and sadness through your words and your stars.. and although I have sympathy for him... he deserves what he got!! lol
-
Fabulous write. You really brought that pic to life hun with your wonderful story here. A most excllent piece, makes me want to know more about him. Great job

The graphic is beautiful, and I can see why you were inspired to write something fitting. Sometimes, pictures just seem to have words form in our mind that should accompany them. I tend to do just the opposite...have the words and search desperately for some graphic that will go with them...and finding something that will do with a few alterations...That's fun!
I do love the last lines of the poem...to call upon powers of dreams...It gave me the feeling I was reading of CHAINS...where the power lies within, but we are bound because we refuse to look at the truth of our actions. Beautiful words to go with a great graphic.

thank you Kathy...I guess we all know someone like this!!! LOL I suppose their own misery is good enough revenge LOL...thank you always for your kind and encouraging comments..always very much appreciated my friend!!

excellent & a pleasure to read
A lot of miserable "knights" and "sailors" out there LMAO The picture is captivating, as is your words. Beautiful expression and lots of emotion. This is very moving to me on a personal basis (you know why LOL) and very sad to think that people have a dream in the palm of their hands and let that dream slip for stupid reasons and then live the rest of their life in misery, longing for "that dream". Incredible imagery and great overall presentation. A pleasure to read

wonderful
Beautiful! The picture was slow loading due a slow connection, so I read the poem first. It is heartbreaking, magical and pulled me in....then...I looked at the picture, and went ...awwwwww.....it fits so well with the poem, and by your words, it was almost what I had imagined..... -
Hi Penny,
This looks and reads really well to me. I really don't see that you need to do anything at all to it. See you again soon.

This is an excellent poem! I don't believe that it needs any touching up, but it's just me. It's also romantic. I love your poems!
