My maiden in tower
Held there long ago
Distant time of honor
When king was king

Still some were evil
My fairest damsel captive
So I mounted steed
Riding to her rescue

Driven forward by love
Lady of no compare
Heart filled with courage
There waiting for me

Hills rise and fall
Hooves pounding muddy path
Never stopping never relenting
Traveling to greatest battle

Her face guiding me
Beacon in the dark
True angel in waiting
Feeding this soldier's resolve

Lightning flashing in distance
Thunder rolling over me
Still I ride on
Her distress more deafening

As morning sun rises
Castle looming in view
I lower my visor
Her scarf around neck

Knighted sword now unsheathed
Wilkinson shield in hand
My stallion breathing fire
Galloping to my destiny

*sigh* a lucky lady in deed is the maiden in the tower. She has a knight who is filled with romance. Very well done, Sir Robert. This is a poem I love.

It has all that a romantic heart could desire.

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

*giggling at Lady of Shallot's reply*
But...is he still galloping?
Seems a long distance to the castle walls.
Hope he makes it before his trusty steed collapses!
Good write brave knight!
