Guinevere

A maiden knight to prove a king 

As mentor and a lover

Truth her life to test a lord

Her faith to find this other

Held to her a tiny star

Encased in silver locket

A black knights gift from royal garb

Deep within hearts pocket

Every eve at sunsets pause

Her weapons flashed the light

A kingdom free and guarded well

Into the licorice night

Her kingdom filled a valley rich

Protected from all strife

Daughter to a line of kings

Queens of love and life

One road led among them

From the caverns holy bridge

Guinevere would hold it

True loves light atop the ridge

Tales of her were visions

And the legend of her stands

Few could help but speak her name

Her beauty marked the lands

Shattered beggars filled the void

Tears shed for each falling

Starlight was her wish to see

Who’s love became a calling

Skill and honor held the code

Of one who’d tempt the fates

None but this could rule her heart

It’s price unlock her gates

Years of patience held her firm

Fire filled her dance

Tresspass no one over me

A King the only chance

Sunlight filled her loving heart

A lonely royal jewell

Hers to share this paradise 

With one who'd reign and rule

No one knew of lesser lives

What Guinevere had seen

Hearts the maid had set to flight

As Camelots next queen
