Princess
In a kingdom far away
Within a tower a princess lay
Against her will trapped inside
Upon a bed bound and tied
Taken from her home by an evil king
His plan to have her wear his ring
Whatever the cost to make her his queen
The cruellest of men, nasty and mean
For days, nights, weeks, years
Keeping her trapped despite the tears
Breaking her will slowly each day
All she could do was hope and pray
Wishing that someone would hear her plea
And come to her rescue and set her free
Time passed slowly, she feared the worst
Perhaps the king was right, she had been cursed
As time passed, the tower became overgrown
Covered in ivy, a desolate place to be alone
The king had grown weary but would not yield
Too late, to mend the scars unhealed
Resigning herself forever to this fate
Realising as time passed by, it would soon be too late
Darkness fell on another day
Cold and hungry once again she tried to pray
Suddenly she heard a sound
The patter of hooves upon the ground
A passing knight had stopped to rest
Unaware in the tower a princess lay distressed
Mustering strength from deep within
She tried to warn of the predicament she was in
Would he hear, would her cry be in vain
Would her torment continue suffering in pain?
Silence then a deafening sound of swords entwined
What to think, slowly going out of her mind
What was happening how would it be?
Hoping and praying she soon would be free
Within a moment her knight appeared
With trusty sword, the ivy now cleared
Into the tower a prisoner no more
Exhausted and weak she fell to the floor
When she woke, she was far away
Free at last to live another day
By her side her knight in shining armour
Now not afraid resting much calmer
The knight revealed his identity
A prince in waiting, a king to be
He knew his father was wicked and cruel
And realised he could no longer let him rule
When he realised the king’s evil plan
He challenged his father, and became a man
Defending the honour of the princess that day
A duel to the end come what may
Being victorious righting the wrong
Freeing the princess, trapped for so long
Love at first sight they instantly new
She would become queen, with a king whose heart was true
