Poems by Michael Knight

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.
