Knight in Shining Armor (Magic and Alchemy)

 


It now feels like eons
Amid fairy tales
and medieval romances,
I started yearning for
a dauntless savior;
Wearing rose-tinted glasses, 
I wondered, "Where is my
Knight in shining armor?"

I soon felt impatient
with the long, arduous wait
Yet my heart was adamant;
Amid hardships and tragedies,
I found the mine of wisdom
Also in abundance they came
- allies and critics
but the Knight in shining armor
was nowhere in sight.
Disregarding it as my childhood dream,
I laughed in front of the mirror when
I behold the Knight in shining armor.

The sudden realization
showered me with unfettered joy
I looked at the girl in the mirror
She had fought each adversity
with the sword of tenacity
Saved me each time
I faced any difficulty.
When I was the Sleeping Beauty
drowned in ignorance,
she awakened me;
When I was stuck like Cinderella,
She, through her hard work
fulfilled all my dreams.
At last, I found the one 
I've been seeking for long
I smiled as I looked at the mirror
Yes! I am my Knight in shining armor.

    I loved how you emerged as the knight for yourself and stood up for all you had ever desired. May that mirror of strength always guide you towards your latent mystical powers!

    Absolutely true. Each princess is her own knight in shining armour. Such a beautiful poem and matches my theme too.

    Fantastic. And you certainly are.
    These poems are fitting in so perfectly with Navratri--the celebration of shakti and the feminine energies.
