Shall We Dance?

Shall We Dance 


Okay I'll let you all in on a little secret. Back in the day, anyone who watched me dance compared me to the talented, John Travolta.  While I did not seek out a career in the arts, I did enjoy losing myself in music on a dance floor.  A dear friend asked me recently if my readers knew this about me.  Well, now you do.  


As a result of a special virtual reunion, I dedicate tonight's poem to a girl I helped break out of her shell.  I recalled her lips telling me no, but her eyes revealed she wished to be free and after some gentle prodding, she came out of her shell.  The young girl is now a beautiful, married woman and the inspiration behind my latest poem.  Thank you Fung Lee Tam-Blumenthal for being my friend and for providing me with memories that will last a lifetime. 

Shall We Dance?

By Nomar Knight

When I guided you through awkward steps

Your worried eyes grew oh so wide

Counting through numbered reps

You searched for a place to hide

It wasn't long before our eyes met

And we floated on clouds of joy

A few more paces and you'd be set

In your arms with your first boy

Shall we dance until the music stops

Or until someone throws us out

Fluid our movement with happy hops

Lovely ballerina you did sprout

Though now we dance miles apart

To our own rhythm and beat

You never abandoned my heart

To dance again would be neat

Who knows perhaps our time will come

For destiny holds the cards we can't see

When we stroll and we stride as one

Thank you my darling for dancing with me

Feel free to listen to one of the many songs we danced on that sweet night. 

And to Mr. Blumenthal, take good care of my friend. I wish you and your family all the best.

A Knight Chills poem.

In Fate's Hands

In Fate's Hands

I dedicate this poem to my friend, Kerry Morgan, who's going through a turbulent time.  May she find the peace that will soothe her kind soul. And to anyone going through something similar, my prayers are with you as well. May God Bless You All! 

In Fate's Hands

By Nomar Knight

First it started with an invader

A lump not noticed before

Didn't want to be a crusader

But curiosity rose to the core

So after many weeks of debate

You gave in to that little voice

May as well seek your fate

After all it was the best choice

Got poked and prodded all around

Until it hurt and became numb

Inside hope began to drown

Making you wonder if you're dumb

The waiting was really bad

Your mind roamed with scenes of doom

Moped around quite sad

Didn't notice when flowers bloomed

Tried distracting yourself with hobbies

To make the time pass by fast

Dreamed of endless halls and lobbies

The smell of death your shadow casts

Don’t want to die you say

For many good years remain

Sunny skies may as well be gray

The waiting drives you insane

The more the dreaded day closed in

New symptoms began to rise

Made a pact you won't again sin

Hoping He'll ignore the lies

I can't die yet you see

There's so much I've yet to do

Longer life I beg of thee

Won't bite more than I can chew

The day has come and you can feel

News of your fate is written

Shaking hands rip the seal

Time to know if you are smitten

Regardless of what it says

Realization strikes your mind

To live out the rest of days

Giving love and being kind

For you see we all desire

To live forever in this place

And forever will transpire

When we join his loving Grace

Let's not forget to pray for Kerry and anyone else in the same situation.

A Knight Chills poem.

Touched

Touched

Before you think today's blog is about something inappropriate, erase those awful thoughts off your mind.  In the past few days I've been touched...by kindness.  First, I found out that Knight Chills won another award, of which I will provide details tomorrow.  My good friend and writing partner, T.F. Walsh gave me something called the versatile blogger award.  That was very kind. 


Today, an interview I did with a wonderful woman from South Africa, the gifted poet, Biola Olatunde, hosted me on her great blog, Ephesus: Center Stage.  If you'd like to learn more about me, visit her blog here.


Biola asked some probing questions and as a result, some of my readers have been enlightened in finding out what motivates me to write horror, poetry, dark romance, suspense and supernatural thrillers. 


This wonderful poet, Biola, connected with me through Facebook and we have become good friends.  There were times when either one of us was feeling down, thanks to life's roller coaster ride, and after reading each others words, we felt our spirits lift to new heights.  She has been a wonderful influence on me as have a number of amazing writers/people.  


Thank you Biola for being the wonderful person you are.  And thank you Knight Chills readers for sticking with me even when there were many negative elements swirling around you. I leave you with this quote and then please feel free to read my interview at Ephesus. 

In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out.  It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being.  We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.  ~Albert Schweitzer

Thank you all for your support.


Catch you on the dark side.
