Well this is my first attempt to write a poem and I hope it will sound good when you will read it.
Now some background of poem
Knight has left home behind and going to war, during his voyage he sit under the blue sky, fall asleep and dream about love, war, peace and what he wants ……..
The Knight's Dream
Lying under the blue sky,
Let the white clouds go sailing by,
Closing my eyes, falling in the black,
Dreaming about what I lack
I dream, the home behind
A beautiful girl waiting at the door,
Waving at me but she looks unsure,
Smile on her face, gleam in her eye,
Like the moonlight in the gloomy night
I dream, the war ahead
Every shaft is shot, all arrows are spent,
Sword is notched and shield is split,
I am in battlefield encircled by enemy
I am exhausted but still little bit hope in me
I dream, the halcyon days
I dream peace and back home what I have missed
Wine, friends, family, my love and a beautiful kiss
Now I left battlefield behind and home is ahead
But for halcyon days many paths to tread
This knight is so much similar to THE COMMON MAN… who leaves home early, struggles whole day and come back to his loved ones at the end of the day... this poem is for every common man who is exhausted...
