Parlor Games

The Sunday Muse

 

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, in a land untamed

 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

 parlor games, wizardry unseen

maneuvering distances in between

I dreamt of a kingdom where light reigns

 heart of a dragon, magic always remains

together in this land, they wear no crowns

proclaiming peace in audible verbs and nouns
