I like the duality I find in the title here, Jesse: without armor -- he is no knight; without armor - he is allowing himself to be vulnerable.

Strong imagery and very unique phrasing and descriptions here. I found the overall tone to be deeply sad -- one of longings and needs too long unfulfilled.
Anyone can write of beauty -- of life, friendship, love everlasting -- but it is those rare, brave souls who dare to live their words that are the true poets of the universe. That is where true beauty lies. ~JaML

It's a sin that somehowlight is changing to shadow, and casting its shroudover all we have known. Unaware how the ranks have grown, driven on by a heart of stone, we could find that we're all alone, in the dream of the proud.
