“Queen”
A Poem by Randall
I never knew a Queen before!
But then… I was never a Knight before!
Am I now?… I wonder…?
But you… you are definitely a Queen!
I have no doubt!
What is a knight to do for a Queen?
I ask, not knowing.
May I wear your scarf upon my armor?
I come from nowhere… with little standing.
But I will stand between you and the gates of hell!
Giving no quarter to the Devil and expecting none!
Please tell me as I stand before you… your crown
atop your fair hair, with cup in hand, your pinky raised while
drinking your royal tea….
Please tell me what I must do… to please you!








This is tender and earnest and full of heart. you write knighthood like a vow whispered and there is such sweetness in the way you imagine loyalty it lands softly and stays. As always, a treat to read you, Randall.
