Her angel of light seeks the life
Of human man and mortal flesh
He holds the wronged, hurt ones
Close to a loving heart that fills
With joy that he knows of love
Love went long away from him
Awe, fear, these he knew
But the love of a woman, that
Is one thing he knew little of
And with dearest joy he holds her
So close to his sweet-shaped form
His perfect golden head lies strong
On her shoulder, his sapphire eyes
Are closed in thrill of holding near
One who loves him more than life
His full lips lie just apart
And begging to be kissed dear
The long dark coat of his place
Is full and warm around her
His gun rests forgotten in its place
Sad and solemn he is in his duty
His innocence stolen, his perfection marred
Her angel, his kiss is a dark gift
She has no knight in shining armor
No, she has an angel dark
Born in flesh of man
Liberated but earthbound
She has a knight in his flowing black coat
He is reviled by all held divine
A master of marvelous powers
A protector and defender now
Monster to a thousand cultures
But no statue of gold
Has higher value to her
Than the arms of the man inside
Not hero, not monster, not child
Not even the brave Knight
But the sweet man inside, all
Shining and bright, still naive
Gilded with the sun he lost
Haloed in radiance of natural gentility
The man who was before
And beneath-- all masks he wore
The man in the night well-loved
Creamy skin of chest and shoulders
Escaping from a slipping shirt
So dear and innocent of his looks
The way he appears to her.
