I dreamt of knights in shining armor
guarding a castle across the harbor
there was a king in search of a queen
in a place that he had never seen
I dreamt of pawns caught in a game
moving cautiously, hiding their shame
battle of wits, but who would win
in the corner, the jester widely grins
I dreamt of a queen in search of a king
in the courtyard below, a troubadour sings
enchantment softly whispers in her ears
drifting in a sea of slumberous tears
I dreamt of a castle somewhere in time
where there is poetic verse and rhyme
between the rook and king, slightly unseen
under the tapestry of life awaits a queen
I dreamt of a kingdom where light reigns
heart of a dragon, magic always remains
together in this land, they wear no crown
proclaiming love in audible verbs and nouns

Thank you for visiting
That's the land of Poetry for you, majesty remains but kings and queens can be loose and fun filled all the same if needs be
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by my blog today Happy Sunday

You built a castle of poetry. Love is never a house of cards.
ReplyDeleteWowww!❤️ This is absolutely enchanting I love;

Oh I once knew those dreams of castle, prince and princess........your poem took me back there, to when the world and I were young. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteA world where the mouths that birth words are royal, how fantastic! I bet the dreamer danced and danced at the sounds, celebrating—I would have!
ReplyDeleteThis would be a wonderful world to live in (even as pawn)... bless the dragon
ReplyDeleteLove this fairytale poem.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy getting lost in dreams and fairytales – even better when they’re fairytale dreams. The repetition and rhyming couplets are perfect for the theme and I especially loved:
ReplyDelete‘I dreamt of a queen in search of a king
in the courtyard below, a troubadour sings
enchantment softly whispers in her ears
drifting in a sea of slumberous tears’.
Sure a royal court for which to report
ReplyDeleteThat has a wonderful rhythm and rhyme to it!
ReplyDeleteA wonderfully rhymed intermingling of story and game … a dreamy little piece of poetry to linger over.
ReplyDeleteDreaming to some purpose – may the resolution in your last verse come beautifully true!
ReplyDeleteKingdom where light reigns...!!! Like that! Especially in this era of darkness.
ReplyDeleteThat is quite a romantic subversion of a traditional chess game — I really enjoyed the poetics (rhymes and rhythm) and emotional candor of this worldly verse. Loved this bit in particular: "I dreamt of a castle somewhere in time/where there is poetic verse and rhyme/between the rook and king".
