    BLACK KNIGHT

    BLACK KNIGHT

     

    Yearning like a heart

    with no home of its

    own,

    or a deer with no place

    to roam.

     

    For there once was

    a love

    that I called my own.

    Still the folly of youth

    was the way of the day.

     

    Passion was like

    poison

    and life yet

    died away.

     

    At long last the kings men

    were all slain

    and he dethroned.

    All that remains is the

    Black Knight

    standing alone.

     

    Death offers no

    refuge,

    sleep is no release.

    Appalling the pain

    that will show no restrain

    and I ……

    I long for one last taste

    of my queen

    and the poison that

    slay me.

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
