Poems by Michael Knight







Silly Little Poets
Many things come to mind
When a poet comes across such a beautiful find,
Comparing them to things of beauty,
Using words that are soft and fruity.
But if they were to ask for a thousand years,
Whisper your name into a million ears,
And remain undeterred,
Not one poet could find one word
To describe your charisma and grace,
Your inner beauty and face.
Though I write these words in vain,
Causing myself mental pain,
For I am one of those silly little poets,
One that likes you but can't find the words to show it.

The White Desert Rose
Like a blue bird's song,
When I hear your voice nothing is wrong,
Like an earthquake
When I see you my legs shake,
And like a torrent blaze,
I can feel the heat of you dazzling gaze.
And like the heat of a July sun,
You make my thoughts run,
The only girl that can make my heart come undone.
And if life were like that of the tundra and froze
You would be proof of the white desert rose.

Can You Kiss An Angel?
As I watch this sunset in front of me,
There is but one thing more beautiful that I can see,
And that is the marvel of your heavenly bliss.
As we sit here, I dream of a soft delicate kiss,
A taste of luscious angel lips.
And as the sun slowly dips,
And the moon and stars come out to dance,
The mood goes from friendly to romance.
I take a chance, make my move,
And try and prove
You can kiss an angel.

Can You Answer A Question?
Me and you are the people we show true?
Can we live without our crutch?
The one thing to protect us from life's cold touch.
I wonder what keeps us going?
What keeps the blood in our veins flowing?
We all take personal blows,
And have personal lows,
And yet we move on till the bad is all gone.
But does it ever go away?
Or is it forever here to stay?
So what is your saving grace?
Your true identity, your true face?
Can you truthfully answer anything I just asked?
Or are your true words muffled by a mask?

The Campfire Flower
Like this beautiful red flower
In the morning hour,
Your beauty exceeds the rest.
A rose among weeds, a lily upon thorns,
Your simply the best.
And if each passing hour
Your beauty grew sour,
It would still shine above the rest.

Hailey's Sunset
You lit my world up like the morning sun rays,
You were the light in my dreary days.
You were the warmth in the cold,
The person I knew I could treasure and hold.
You were the brightest star in my night,
But now your gone and almost out of sight,
And like a child without fun,
A flower without sun,
I am left incomplete.

The Feeling of Words
It felt like the fury of the sea,
Crashing into me,
It's warmth was like that of a star,
One that is so dim and far,
And like a shriek to the ear,
You said things I did not want to hear.
And as the air in my lungs turns cold
I realize I no longer have anyone to hold.
To any other ear it would have sounded like any other word,
But these are the feelings it stirred.

Hands of a Clock
This is not a play; and we are not Romeo and Juliet.
Our meeting was chance, a one in a million bet.
The time we spent together I will never forget,
You are the one stranger I'm glad to have met.
I was drawn in by your stare,
But it was your warmth that kept me there,
I hate how we did not have long,
Or how I think of you every time I hear that song.
I was sad when that last morning came around,
I was depressed you were homebound,
And when I had to say goodbye,
It took all I had not to cry.
So now your gone and I sit and pray,
For your happiness every day.
And like the hands on Big Ben,
A clock striking 12:01, I hope it is only time before our hands meet again.

Celestial Being
Celestial Being from the sky,
What is wrong?
Why do you cry?
Why did you stop singing your song?
Celestial Being from above,
Is it he who you miss?
His love?
His kiss?
Celestial Being from the air,
Wipe that tear from your eye,
He didn't care,
All he did was cheat and lie.
Celestial Being from the sky,
I could be your guy.

Hailey's Sun Rise
Your hair is golden like the morning sun rays,
Your eyes trap me like a beautiful blue maze,
The way you hold me I just can't explain,
The high you give me is as strong as cocaine,
And like a dream come true,
I never thought I would be with a beauty like you.
And I can only hope and pray,
That after this day, you will be here to stay.

Facing a Fact
The water I tred upon is restless and cold,
And who I am is rusted and old.
The story I live in is over told,
A princess and brave knight,
An epic battle and fight,
Dark being conquered by light.
But in reality this is not the case,
No princess, no knights, no hero ace.
Just a fact I must face.

Drop-Dead Cutie
A drop-dead cutie
A magnificent beauty
Gorgeous angel from the sky
I would live to die
To keep all tears from your eye
To free you from your pains
To wash away past stains
And as free as you claim to be
It seems only I can see
The steel bars encasing your heart
But you must let go, angel from above
Let your heart free like a snow white dove
Break free from those bars
Let go and touch the stars
And for you to do this
To leave your dark abyss
To rid yourself of that pain
And finally attain
The happiness you have so long been denied
A drop-dead cutie
A magnificent beauty
Gorgeous angel from the sky
Your pain is the reason I cry

Midnight Beauty
You are a midnight beauty
Running through my dreams
Making me think of romantic schemes
Your devilish eyes hinting at sin
Your delicate way of letting me in
But alas it cannot be, for it's in my dreams I can only see
That midnight beauty

The Flower of My Heart
A snow-white flower
Whose beauty grows, blooms every hour
You’re one of a kind
With a wonderful mind
And a soul that sets my heart on fire
And when I think of this I know you're all I ever will desire

A Dream of Shakespeare’s Love (Katherine and Juliet)
A priceless piece of art
The flame of my heart
A beauty from the sky
Whose love I would not deny
In this time of need
I beg, I plead
For my angel from above
So that I may love
But it’s not to be
No love for me
If only life were like that of Shakespeare’s mind
A Katherine, Juliet I could find
To settle for less than that would not be fine
But a Katherine, Juliet could never be mine
And though I have all this love to give
I am destined to live
A life like that of old Ebenezer Scrooge

Nature’s Symphony
Dangling clouds cover the swaying trees
As I hear the sound of the fading bees
The water and wind dancing as one
With hints of a fading orange sun
The seagulls begin to quiet
As the mosquitoes begin to riot
As the pale moon comes out to play
A perfect transition from light to dark
As the midnight dogs begin to bark
As I sit and watch this I’m hit with an epiphany
This is nature’s symphony

La Bellezza Di Amanda
The world is full of beauty but not like yours
It brings jealousy to every angel that sours
And like a lily among thorns, you’re simply the best
The one with beauty, so much better than the rest
Your skin is ivory fare like an elephant’s tusk
Your words are soft like a warm breeze at dusk
Your blond hair flows like the River Thames
And your eyes sparkle like two beautiful blue gems
With ruby red lips
Perfect curves and hips
Thoughts of such beauty camps in my head
Your beauty makes my heart feel like lead.
My Promise to a White Rose When we are alone our bodies eclipse, When you hold me close I get a warm shiver, When we are finished, 
In the garden of life you are a white rose,
with true beauty that nobody knows,
That two-faced gardener that said he would protect you, hold you, love you,
But he lied, an action that makes my heart cry
and I know when he's done with you he will start anew.
But I pray for that every second of every minute of every day,
To give you real love and to take care of a new season, one you have been unaware of.
But whether you will let me keep it, who knows.

I miss her warmth in the middle of the night,
The way she held me, kissed me from dark till light,
And to feel this again, I pray with all my might.
I miss the beating of her heart,
It's quickly past when we'd start,
What we made was art.
I miss the gaze of her stare,
The way she did it with out a care,
Her blue eyes made my heart flare.
And as I sit and remember these days,
Her touch, her heart, her amazing gaze,
When I was her man, the one she'd praise,
What ever happened to our romantic blaze?

You and Me
Your hand touches my hand,

Blue Eyes
I sit and stare at the midnight sky
and the sparkle of the stars reminds me of your bright blue eyes.
The cool summer breeze from the lake
reminds me of your soft touch and of heartache.
Your gentle soul touched my heart
which is why it aches now we're apart.
For me its not Tim McGraw, but Tayler Swift,
the song that reminds me of you on the midnight shift

Make up, make up all the time,
Fakes, fakes all I see,
Women, women everywhere,

Hell in Angel's Skin

As The Days Go By
To write in steel,
to tell you how I feel,
would be a pointless task.
To know how I feel is too much to ask.
And in this pain,
it only seams to rain.
This dark place is turning me insane.

Suvazhenium Angel Moy
In a world of hate
Is it fate for the two of us to be drawn together.
Like two peas in a pod,
Like Ned and Mod we are two birds of a feather.
And to dream of a girl like you
with beauty so pure
and truth it seems so unreal,
and with a heart as scorn and wartorn as mine
could I really feel?
