Inky Knight

Inky Knight
(A shadow poen

Inky night hides the hand that holds the inn key 

Grim door carved like an original book by brother's Grimm 

Slinky steps come to meet in a dress so slinky  

Slim lines caress long legs so slim



Which man could resist so beguiling a witch

Chest beating he pulled the pulsing relic from the velvet lined chest

Pitch dripped from the torch flickering at fever pitch

Wresting dagger from sheath he stabbed her wizened heart unto its final resting



Pain gripped his heart as wind drove branch through window pane

Real understanding of his victory made senses reel

Rain lashed the world to celebrate the end of her reign

Steel put away from her neck the talisman did steal



Towed in his cart was her supply of eye of newt and ear of toads

Rode wearily his horse plodded down the dusky road
