Knight



I'm not a knight
I'm a man.
Sometimes scared,
always imperfect.

The shining armor
hangs in the closet
too large
for this mortal frame.

Your dream prince
may remain a dream;
but, here I stand
before you.

We each have dreams,
hopes, desires.
Some come to pass.
others fade with dawn.

Tentatively, we've taken
our first steps together.
Already, we've created
mutual memories.

I'm not a knight
I'm a man.
Take my hand,
offered in love.
