A Knight In Shining Armor Poem by Juan Olivarez

I wish I was, a Knight in shining armor,
To Guard you while you sleep.
And bring you dreams Of intense ardor,
And lovely memories to keep.

Or a valiant prince to kiss your lips,
And wake you from your dreams.
Or a poet to read you verse and quips,
Underneath the full moons beams.

I wish I had a Golden Charger, strong,
To carry you away.
To a castle high where you belong,
Where you and I would stay.

And all around would wait on you,
And grant your every whim.
And I would dress you in gold and blue,
And serve you till my eyes would dim.

But you are my queen, in everyway,
And I live just for you.
And together we will spend our days,
Just like when love was new.
