Knighted – by ‘Chaotic-Sorceress’
Reading Time: 2 minutes
EDITOR'S INTRODUCTION This poem by 'Chaotic-Sorceress' was really well received by fellow poets on Allpoetry.com with comments ranging from the single word 'brilliant' to thought provoking lengthy pararagraphs extolling the author's poetic skills. For me, it is a fascinating piece that has encouraged me to re-read several times. To my mind it also contains a revealing crescendo in the final stanza. 'Chaotic-Sorceress' describes herself ass "a wannabe sorceress" but I think there is quite a bit of accomplished sourcery contained in her writing.

KNIGHTED I was knighted and became a dame before I was a daughter, a sister, a warrior born from the ashes of my ancestors, my first battlecries an unspoken oath to bear the brunt of the sword and prophecy the day I was born, those above chanted my name I sparred with kings and traveled to faraway lands plagued by war, the fall of my comrades my blood was a river growing as each wound scabbed over I learned to cover my eyes with a helmet, so it would become honorable murder arrows rained from the skies--punctured what was left I was knighted before I was your lover all that remains is an entombed legacy of empires fallen at my feet, playing by the rules of the rulers I served we were drunk on stars and in a grove of stilted peace the kiss broke us into pieces you parried with words and I struck with thickened armor when the moon rose, I was alone the oath was my constant in a world of varying variables dueling with the world was like driving the pommel of a sword into columns of fog, riding bareback chasing... And sometimes, I wonder if this armor I wear and the crest that it bears, was what I wanted after all © Chaotic-Sorceress 2022
