King for a Day

I’m sure you’re somebody else’s Guinevere … and I know better to think like you’re near … most think that I should just leave you alone


but it seems you’ve drawn the sword from my heart of stone


a young Arthur might say that it’s best … to not put your best heart to such a test … you’re probably someone’s beloved queen … so I should be clear to say what I do mean


no just ruler in his right heart and mind … would mislead you just to leave you behind … our life is what we make of the unknown … since you’ve drawn the sword from my grey heart of stone


I am not regal nor

a shiny white knight

I travel by whim of

red and green lights


not foolish enough

to think romance a thing

but you once made me feel 

like the math class king


all I can say is only what I should … royalty would only say what is good … if ever a shoulder or ear I could lend … a happily ever after bond without end


the envy of sir lancelot and many … too kind to toss out a pound for a penny … you help me brave the winter with shield alone … 


for you have drawn the sword from my heart of stone


wrote this last week …
