Knight, fraught with pride,
With battles of many won,
Beneath tower’s balcony encamped.

Into courtyard behind fortress walls,
With broken trust Princess escapes.
Tower’s steps she ascends,
To garden’s sanctuary climbs.

Into night’s breeze,
Her heart’s love whispers.
Upon angel wings downward float,
Captured and held with each breath taken.

Drawing nigh to window she dares,
Glimpses of beauty downward cast.
With journey of tears her head bows.
With amazing hope his head is raised.
Joined by the fragrance of gaze beheld.

Longing to hold the touch of her kiss,
Forever patient,
Knight waits.

As water stands still in winter’s grip,
He waits…

He will wait…

Kneeling with five stones gathered,
Upon holy altar laid,
Offering humble prayers.

Bitterness and bite of frost and snow he bears,
Kept warm by the blanket of her love,

Leaving only to answer battle’s call,
Returning to embrace,

The Cry of the Keep,

Until the dawn of open gates,
When his blue sapphire rose,
Displays her magnificence
To the wonder of the stars once again.
