Chivalry
in my Youth
'twas always the Pining
for a taken Lady's kerchief
astride a charger,
Shining Armor,
worthy, chaste, pure.
But now it's I at court.
A Lord.
Role romantically unrecognizable
with a heart hemmed in by the necessity of station
unless it sees what's fun and free
In the girl
(woman)
on unbridled mare of Life.
Instead of tourneys I dedicate stability
Instead of glory it is quiet.
laughs & smiles are just for me
like all the others I could have had
if not for Chivalry
