Your Knight in Shining Armor

by reJoyce   Jun 11, 2008


My shield is rusted
My sword is dull
I try to stand
But I just fall

Wounded from battle
I'm stagnant and defenseless
Residing in my sin
Warped into this dark abyss

The enemy laughs
His temptation has succeeded
I sulk in my sorrows
For my soul has been defeated

Lust, like the wind
That can't be seen
But it's between
These shattered dreams

And we know it's there
To feel and touch
But we never know
Before it's too much...

This is a battle between myself
It's a battle that can't be won
I'm dying to find a release
So my mistakes can be undone

    In my first comment not all went through. I meant to give an example of smoothing the rhythm by shortening lines without changing the meaning. I appologize for this but the battery back-up/surge protector I use sometimes does weird things.

    I really like your story line here but your metre/rhythm is all over the place.
    "I'm wounded from battle
    Stagnant and defenseless
    Residing in my sin
    Warped in this dark abyss"

    As in many other works your rhymes are off a bit ie. seen/dreams, succeeded/defeated.
    As always an opinion.

    Not very good? I don't think I saw any flaws in this. Don't say it's not very good :) Because you never know what other readers are going to think. I think you did a wonderful job. The rhyming was great. I don't know how people can make their poems rhyme! I know I can't. Anyways...5/5
    Nicely written.

    Good write...
    The way you have described the battle with yourself is nice... but you could have made the first part little more stronger.. this is just a suggestion.. I felt the latter part more stronger...

    'This is a battle between myself
    It's a battle that can't be won
    I'm dying to find a release
    So my mistakes can be undone '

    ^^ the ending is wonderful... this stanza is very powerful...

    keep writing..
