PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

It was in the days of Camelot.
Yet not within a fairytale plot,
For no dragons ever walked this land,
Women were women, a man was a man.
They all knew their position in the status quo,
With dignity and grace, which way to go.
There was a deep sense of this clarity,
Nor ownership of the sexuality.

We each had our place within his realm,
And both of us loved him.
She walked beside him through every door,
Gave him children to ensure,
Her place to stand beside of him,
Yet did not fulfill his every whim.

So I became the one who would comply,
Stand behind her, and not deny,
All the shadows held, inspired.
Giving to him all he desired.
I did all of this without any shame,
Knowing I would never bear his name.
And still today, I have not forgot.
Those sweet simple days of Camelot.
