The Genuine Knight : Scars of Honour

"My knight, my love" she softly spoke

Yearning for a man with heart of oak

Not seeking armor that shines bright

But a soul of honour to stand and fight

One scarred from battles, trials and pain

With compassion to help others gain

A man not perfect but genuine

Loyal, respectful and disciplined

Seeking purpose, living morals true

To protect what is good, eschew evil's brew

No need for status, wealth or fame

Only desire your laughter as his aim

A simple life of meaning brings joy

Not trinkets, trifles that time will destroy

"Show me your scars" she whispered light

"Scars not from foes but from your fight

To live each day honor's narrow road

Shining not in mail but humanity's load"

"I care not for knight's shining armor

Only for genuine man's saber rattle"  

"Armor tarnishes, man's soul grows"

"Battles lost teach more than those won"

"Your wounds reflect your resilience"

"Trials reveal your moralcadence"

"Let imperfections carve your story"

"Crafting compassion from life's quarry"

"Laugh with me as only lovers do"

"Seeing shared truth from different view"

"Take my hand not to lead but walk together"

"Through life's joys and storms of every weather"

"No need to be perfect or always strong"

"In weakness we help each other along"

"Don't seek to impress with grand actions"

"Small kindness show depths of your passions"

"We all stumble, get lost, feel afraid"

"Stay true to your purpose though plans fade"

"There's no map to guide life's rocky slopes"

"Only love lighting the way with small hopes"

"So shine not with armor but humanity's gleam"

"Scarred not by foes but fighting life's cruel stream"

"Stay tender though the world hardens your skin"

"Let compassion rule where hate settles in"

"Keep morals close through trials and pain"

"Honor defending the helpless, standing for the slain"

"Stay by my side not to lead but to listen"

"Seeing me not as a prize to be won"

"Only wishing to walk side by side"

"Two scarred souls learning from the ride"

"Don't try to impress me with shiny façade"

"Only make me laugh and know your flaws"

"A real man knows himself deep"

"Admits weakness, owns mistakes to keep"

"Seeking not to control or dictate our dance"

"But letting love guide in a spirit of chance"

"So tarnish not your armor for my sake"

"Only reveal your true self though it ache"

"Show me your scars, your pain, your fight"

"To live each day in honor's light"

"A knight in armor means nothing to me "

"Only a flawed man with hope's key"
