My valiant knight;
he rides in from a distance
to gently free these fragile wings
from the clenched talons
of a roving eye'd gull in flight;
lies me in a meadow, mesmerized
just watching, as I sleep
in petals, placid.
I awaken to his loving eyes
and this feeling, surreal
giving my heart a reason
to flutter once again.

Clever use of the word bank, though this piece is brief the soft tone and richness of meaning still linger in the mind, reaching well beyond the page.

the heart steals the armor from around the knights heart, so while yours flutters his pounds.
Loved this dream within a dream wrapped about a wish.
Love, Tom B.

wow, this is a story within a story.....what a great, lovely flowing poem this is, although the beginnign felt angsty, I realized that sometimes dreams begin that way....methinks.

A smooth flow embraces this piece. I feel the use of such calm words really uplifts the beauty around this. A very delightful read.
