Knight of Night
Queen Guinn has knighted me
Her knight of faith
She does not know this night
I am a faithless steedless renegade
Fumbling through a forest of black orchids
Among giants of ebony
Whose gnarled malevolent arms
Reach out to find purchase in me
Down below
A sea of silver mist
Has swallowed the mighty river
All the familiar has vanished
There is nothing
But swirling waves of blinding fog
Like ghosts haunting the river
And my confused mind
Knight me again Queen Guinn
And this time grant me your blessing
Along with the steed I need

Your poem "Knight Of Night" reminds me of Traditional English Poetry...

However, the knights of modernity buy their filthy titles.
I love the magic of this. Its a story within a story, complete with emotive undercurrent.
Very glad to make the acquaintance of this astounding new you x
Wishing you all good things for 2022 x

Your snowy white steed awaits my Lord…

I semblance to your life and your place where love once ruled and you were the knight of the house. Now, alone and abandoned, sometimes the fog covers the valley below and you get disoriented, except when you write beautiful poetry like this.
