Armor Ardently Avoids Attractive Affectionate Affection
Shields Start Spawning Suffering
One princess gone
Replaced by another
The one that drew near
Now is Your lover
The one princess gone
Left nought a look behind
Surely she's a treasure she'll never find
The knight on his horse
May have battled for nought
For princesses choose their knights
Before wars are ever fought
Though free with Your wings
To Your castle You're bound
Yet a princess, a knight
In love, You she found
She dropped her armor
As You did Your scales
She dropped her blade
As You did Your flame
Hiding behind armor
To protect You from life
Shields You from love
More so than strife

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.

Just wonderful and full of such noblety! And, you've inspired me to start using the word, "nought" 😃
Wish I could do poetry like this 😁
"For princesses choose their knights Before wars are ever fought" Oooo, those lines made me pause and think for a bit. Loved your poem!
Very nice.
This is great, Thavien and welcome back!
