Who are you, o faceless knight,

Who hides behind the screen?

You've already fulfilled your duty

And have shown me marvellous things.

Oh, don't get me wrong, good sire.

I do enjoy your company.

But one question still lingers...

Why aren't you leaving me?

Is there something you wish?

Perhaps a payment you require?

Do you need anything from me?

An item you must acquire?

My apologies in advance

For I have no money or riches to give,

Nothing but a lonely heart, some love,

And a friendship as long as we live.

Would you accept my humble offering?

Would you accept this gift of friendship?

Even if we are a thousand miles apart,

Would you still want a relationship?

Not the lovey-dovey kind,

A strong bond between friends,

A bond that stands the test of time,

One that lasts though the world ends.

What do you say, fearless knight?

Will you venture into unknown waters?

Don't worry, I won't leave

Even if we face its ugly horrors.

I'll stay by your side

Through stormy seas and sleepless nights,

And I promise to hold your hand

Until we get to see the beautiful sunrise.

Fun Fact: The way I wrote the story was inspired by The Iliad & The Odyssey.

During one of my Lithuanian language lessons, we discussed Greek myths such as The Iliad & The Odyssey, Narcissus and Echo, Sisyphus' Punishment, Icarus' Flight, etc.

The way Homer wrote The Iliad & The Odyssey amazed me, and so I thought to myself, "Why don't I do the same?" True, I didn't use a dactylic hexameter, (I am not a genius like him), but I did tell the story through the poems. 

Question and Answer: Here is a section where you can ask anything about the poem or the work itself. I'll do my best to answer them all.
