The Heart Of A Knight

   He’s a warrior, a gallant knight
He’s a fearless dragon slayer
He’s got no time for love, he hides
His heart under many a layer

He walks to his quarters alone
He see’s his life with certain clarity
And he hardens his heart
Knowing this is his destiny

Though at times he feels his King
Abuses his power with his dominion
He must honor his King and keep
His pledge to the people of the kingdom

She was of Cinderella beauty
Living her life in poverty
With only dreams of love
But also aware of her own destiny

One evening coming home from his
Routine patrol he saw her at the well
Instantly he knew his life had changed
For he had fallen under her spell

She too had felt something
That she thought she would never feel
The magic was in the air, something
So powerfully undeniably real

Cupid had saved them both
From their dark and doomed plight
With an arrow that pierced through the
Armor and the heart of a knight
