Poem Commentary

This one is a little rough so i would gladly appreciate any kind of help or advice. Im a little lost with this one and i dont know why.

A Knight's Desire



The grains of sand slowly fall,
as the hour glass is turned anew.
He counts the seconds as time crawls
and waits for a love that is true.

Just the thought of her touch,
causes his blood to race.
He sits there in the lonliness,
Just picturing her face.

An angel's kiss is his only desire,
as passion within him burns higher,higher.
He wants her there to share his bed
and visions of her dance in his head.

He dreams of her,
each and every night,
but when a new day dawns,
his dreams take flight.

Throughout the day,
his visions remain.
In his heart he beggers her,
to break his chains.

The chains that bind him,
and keep them apart.
Yet the miles and miles of chains,
do not weaken his heart.

He knows he must struggle,
and each day he will fight.
The thunder will roll,
And lightening will brighten his night.

When he finds his angel,
and can hold her close.
He will kiss her lips,
that are soft as a rose.

He is finaly complete,
Just the Knight and his angel true.
content in their mountain retreat.
a love that was ment for two.

So very insightful poem about love, from a male point of view.

It is a good story. I like how it comes around in the end. As Harver stated, there are some lines that seem to be a bit too long and disrupt the flow. There was one line, - [In his heart he beggers her] - perhaps beggers should be begs? Just an observation. Interesting story though. We usually see Knights as the valiant heroes. This poem shows a more vunerable nature, more human.

Not to deconstruct this poem, but only because you asked: in general, if a poem feels rough to the poet, it reads rough to the reader. Watch length of lines by counting the beats, watch the flow of accented syllables, and learn ways to control both through a thesaurus, contractions, and a pre-read aloud to yourself. This is a good effort, but with effort, you can make it better. Tweak, tweak, tweak, ahhhhhh!

Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.
