The Knight and the Lioness

 © 2025

She told Him not to love Her
afraid Her pain would wear Him down
that in Her was a Chaos
in which a Man like Him could drown

He felt the touch of Her Reckless
the Rebel that lights the Spark
it was beckoning to His Demons
dreaming in His Dark

He heard the Wild Spirit
crying out for Freedom
and understood some Wars are waged within
and as a casualty of Battle
Love so seldom wins

She explained She came from a Faraway Place
and was a Stranger in His Lands
and because She had strayed
She was trapped here
a Lioness in a Cage

He asked how a Knight could help a lost Lioness
without Flames consuming Him along the Way
and the Stars stopped to listen
to what the Lady might say

She warned him of Her Reckless
Her Rebel that lights the Spark
It would summon all His Demons
Dreaming in His Dark

She told him He should not love Her
That her pain would wear Him down
That in Her was a Chaos
In which a Man like him would drown

He gave in to His Demons
Dreaming in His Dark
and lit a Fire that if left unchecked
would tear His Heart apart.
