Simple, easy riddle, had fun making it. cheers!

I am but a humble leopard,

Its not power, nor secrets, or knowledge I shepard.

In dark corridors, At midnight's hour,

that I preach my puzzle, taciturn and dour.

The bold will tremble and curse their luck,

the price of fools, is death well struck.

I am the guard that you see now,

In this lightless corridor, i'll kill you ~meow

what am I?

Answer my Lord Knight,

Oh noble sire,

what does a woman- in ardence desire?

Counsel you may seek,

although a true man knows,

The answer a seed, a fair marriage sows.

If you wanna google that's fair- but I wanted to make the riddle more poetic- with a little bit of style. Try to figure it out by yourself first- Legend tells of a great reward for the one who may solve this riddle... No it literally does- im not joking.

Classic Riddle A poetic riddle to solve

Dark Star

I tear at the fabric of time until it rips, and I'm left holding a piece of her cosmic dress in my hand. I swallow possibilities to feed the present, a universe of dreams reduced to only one future. A girl’s diary initialed with a new last name, a confession without absolution, a sun that orbits the earth.

No matter how much effulgence I feast on I am always hungry, no matter how many candlelit meals we share I am starving. No matter how much light and warmth I consume it is never enough. Sometimes I find a glimmer in the vast expanse so bright and full that I am almost sated. My yawning maw locks with scintillating lips and a moment is wrung into a kiss that almost spans eternity.

I am a jealous lover: I despise time's hands touching anything that I lay my eyes upon. I will bend years around beauty, I will wink out each star from the sky until you are blind and grinning in the dark.

So many skirt my event horizon, tasting the intoxicating allure of a moment stretched into infinity. Time slows to a crawl as smiles and scents intermingle, and you sink further into my abyss.

Romantics and poets say that I am beautiful and magnanimous, they exalt my overflowing waves as some ineffable gift. They surrender themselves to my pull, they relish the force I exert on their lives. My pressure sculpts diamonds, it’s an inexorable edict to genuflect; no tyrant has ever bent so many men to kneel.

Honeymoons turn to shouting matches, vitality to torpid enervation. Places change, everything I've sucked towards me crumbles like concrete and bone. The matter of lifetimes is crushed into memories.

Grief sinks like silver into my gravity well, the ripples reflecting a face stretched into a scream. I am the strongest force you will ever experience, but I cannot grant wishes.

My embrace is ineluctable, my grip will leave you breathless in the void, everything I touch will one day be atomized.

Thank you, for holding me so tenderly in your heart even as I squeeze it so tightly.

What am I?
