the nostalgic knight

flaw-melted to become
synchronized

with emotion’s current;

like a blacksmith,
fear shaped fabrications
into armor,

hiding identity
behind metal memories

Author notes

-As for this picture: go down to the bottom of this note section to the link [I apologize - it is a very long link] and after you have done that, go down to the last paragraph just above the picture with all of those girl-models. Once you are there, look for the “here” link - click it, and it will lead you to Christian’s collection for the final round. Do not click out of this page, you will be coming back to it for every other poem I write.

[7/13 - The outfit reminded me of a dark knight, so imagery-wise, that’s where it took me. The idea of the knight was meant to show how the past of her first failed relationship caused her to want to hide herself - the hidden part also inspired by the mysteriousness of the fashion and model.]

I chose those set of pictures, because I felt there was a story - the dresses just became more complex each time; sometimes in strange, grotesque ways. I wanted to bring those elements to life in a poetic story.
