Bobbi
When knights wore white satin
And courts had Crimson Kings
We'd dance with the Jesters
And laugh at the Queens.
We loved tempting fate then
Devouring the thrills
Almost as much
As the liquor and pills.
I kept an old scrapbook
From when we were young
Unfinished letters
Songs left unsung
The stars were so close then and
Dreamers had dreams
Of Knights in white satin
And Crimson Court Kings.
When lanterns held genies
There was still a chance
We'd find our white knights
And they'd ask for a dance.
About this poem
Just trying to capture a glance of teenage years with my little sister Bobbi. She passed away on Christmas Eve. of this year, and so much is brewing inside. I'll just have to take it one moment at a time.
