Knightmare Shattered

I had a dream once, and along the way
my fairytale destination was thwarted,
upside-downed by malicious intentions,
external influences, and scheming manipulators.

Unconditional love beckoned with promises of protection,
A golden haloed knight, stirring my hopeful heart.

Revelation freed me, renewed potential
bolstered lost aspirations, and I coupled,
surrendering soul selflessly, sealing it
with heated arousal; passionate commitment.

Unconditional love beckoned with promises of protection,
A golden haloed knight, stirring my hopeful heart.

Perseverance brought union, and resigning myself
whole-heartedly participated in companionship,
receiving confessions, uncovering delusions,
sporting reminders of my naivete.

Unconditional love beckoned with promises of protection,
A golden haloed knight, stirring my hopeful heart.

Re-examination of personal duplicity,
reveals wounded obsessions and disguised strategizing.
Taking the initiative, I question at last,the authenticity of my life story.

Unconditional love beckons with false promises
No golden haired knight will fulfill my heart.

Permission to write, paint, and imagine are the gifts I gave myself when chronic illness hit - a fair exchange: being for doing. Relevance is an attitude. Humour essential.
