 Please note - I posted all these for Dale as I just reworked the graphics for the first 7 and now added one for the 8th in the series.

 

The font used for all of them was - BernhardFashion BT  ....... so unless you have that on your comp, you won't see these as they should look. *S*

 

Moon in Armour I felt a sense of being watched lost in the dark woods the thick pines knotted in growth I picked my way through I was the visitor watching stalked I heard tree tops come together mystically creating a cryptic sound like a drum beating low I felt so sad, frightened, alone lost without a way home I heard sounds behind me like horse hooves pounding Into the clearing rode the moon with silver armour plated crown shining like a Knight of Old drawn sword flashed my eyes my eyes blinded in surprise blinking for sight to catch just a glimpse the thoughts of the mist I watched and was seen like lightning flashes in distant horizons lighting up the silhouettes the phantoms watched shadows slip into the fading moon a shape peered over steel galloping steed neighed like a whisper spoke to the one who peered over my shoulder watching me © 2003 CJ Clark

Moon in Armour (the Castle) Eyes followed my path like the flash in wooded forest shining from within A hidden castle The light dim in symphony with the trees winding its way over shady grove This feeling overwhelms me suddenly someone called my name? My steed stomped, snorted As I turned my head A glint of a blade? Eyes leading me into the deep unknown path covered with vines ancient and out of time shining silver The path glowed there stood a hidden castle awash in the dim light from the moon in armour came the blinding flash A flash, A blade my mind played tricks? Someone watching me looking over my shoulder My steed snorted in fear As I turned his head he reared... © 2003 CJ Clark

Moon in Armour (the Apparition) I fall to the ground my mind a blur My steed gallops off I begin to run blindly I stumble over a twisted root A storm begin to brew I feel raindrops thunder shakes lightning flashes I was alone or was I? As I looked about A lightning bolt lights up the glen in the woods A shadow moves I feel eyes all around watching me over my shoulder I shudder A dim outline of motion A rustling of leaves Suddenly a howl An apparition appears I reach for my sword when my mind turns cold A figure in black armour illuminated by the moon light darkness is near... I see stars flashing feel a cold presence then nothing moves and the silence is here in my nightmare... © 2003 CJ Clark

Moon in Armour(the Dream) Suddenly I am walking, running in slow motion My head aches, before me is a castle, menacingly it glows I feel the presence of the phantom I call out to my steed The moon seems large, grinning malevolently, it laughs at me I come to the paths end stones appear, leading me to the gate, before me some steps, yonder castle awaits I hear whispers, coming from the stones, if only I could awaken, my heart coldly beats, beating, beating echoing off the walls, wherein lies my fate I hear this terrible growl, Go back from whence you came Turn back from this place, Is it the breeze? The midnight tolls, inside my tortured mind, I must go on, Why, I do not know I feel the immensity of ancient lives, flashing before me, then out of the shadows stands the phantom, above him, The Moon in Armour, it chills my soul Is this a dream? The warriors sleep before battle, before death A sliver of light, The sound of steel, someone calls from inside the castle... Help! Help Me, Please! The Moon in Armour smiles, so fiendishly it laughs at me, watching deathly silent in this nightmare I see shadows move, I hear a horse neigh, its breath upon my face... © 2003 CJ Clark

Moon in Armour(the Captive) The silver light rises reflecting upon my steed’s face He neighs and nickers knowingly I feel relief but disoriented The Moon in Armour shines overhead I have a premonition I shiver in apprehension looking about His presence is felt This Phantom in Black I see steps leading to the castle doors Inside someone is waiting Her imprisonment I wish to end I think of her now and know that she is close to my heart I feel it beating inside of me Suddenly I feel uneasy the presence of malevolence in the lighted glen I make out a figure I know he guards the castle He keeps me from the one whose heart I feel whom I’ve never met yet long for She reaches out for me A cry echoes out ‘Meet your doom, Knave�?BR>I draw my sword from its scabbard I see a flash It’s the faceless fate... © 2003 CJ Clark

Moon in Armour(the Prince) The knights gathered round their king, he of a royal breed with no news of their Prince last seen astride his steed The wooded forest stands thick and forbidding The brave Prince would surely be put to the test They would ride into the woods on morning of the morrow in search of the young knight They ride in great sorrow A moon in armour shines so far away... In a kingdom on the western isle knights already hot in pursuit of this phantom so vile holding their Princess fair Her hand had been given to brave knight of royal castle A Prince without a princess Their king in need of a vassal On the night of the moon its silver plated armour Fair Princess was kidnapped in light of the silver lore A phantom in black rode his steed into flight He held the princess captive inside the castle without light This phantom rides only by the light of the moon in armour © 2003 CJ Clark

Moon in Armour (All the King's Men) The full moon rises its armour shining brightly The knights are frightened their path filled with darkness and thoughts of death Their way is blocked by briars and brambles The thorns ripping, tearing, their horses bleed They attempt going around but the woods are too thick They must stop to await the sunrise Approaching from the other side of the deep forest Knights from yonder castle travel east They too must await sunrise to find their future king Meanwhile the prince is confronted by the dark knight Moon in armour shines bright It haunts his soul but in his heart he feels his love crying for him She brings him strength Their swords sing out, their blades flash Suddenly clouds obscure the armour-coated moon The black knight curses, as he turns and flees, He is rendered powerless The prince hears his lady love His fair princess calls to him... © 2005 CJ Clark

Moon in Armour(Knights Honor) The knights gathered at yonder clearing They found it by chance just as their brave Prince Sir James saw hope here He felt his Prince was near A sunny day so bright that morning of deliverance He saw the tangled path clearly in his mind he envisioned victory Four Knights from east and west went in search of the castle and their Prince and Princess They would send a runner back The forest thickens and fills with shadows, it was faded They would find the way difficult with the Black Knight watching The Prince was weary and awakened to the sunbeams shining upon him He knew his strength was waning even though he felt the love coming from within the castle He was afraid he couldn't last He'd fallen asleep, with trepidation Twilight had come upon him He knew it was love and honor that drove him to prepare to fight Suddenly, he hears the laughter The Black Knight is near The stars are starting to appear and in the horizon he sees the moon Its armour is shining... © 2005 CJ Clark

Moon in Armour (Flight of the Black Knight) The dark night surrounds us The knights sleep soundly not disturbed I awake and see a shadow it’s the lookout awaiting the dawn The warriors begin to stir A good meal and a good night They are refreshed We knock down the huge oaken doors I run up the stairs I sense her presence here The black knight has taken her he fled in the moons shadow I heard his laughter but his fear was well hidden he knew now I would defeat him Sir James cries out excitedly My Prince, the sword of the moon and her armour The Black Knight had left it in his hurry I put on the moons�?armour and placed the sword in my scabbard I handled it and the heft was perfect I would kill the dark one with the blade of the moon We mounted our steeds galloping down the beaten path I would have my Princess in my arms soon I felt her beauty and her love The sun would set, twilight appear and we would see the moon in armour There awaits my answer   ©2006 CJ Clark
