Gallant Knight?

 
He came as an angel of light
His words encouraging adventure
He was all charm and valour
The Gallant Knight - come to rescue the maiden

Her heart at first guarded
His words like perfume flowed
Soaking into her existence
And she saw him as a king

His gentle words soon had a sting
She flinched…..
He comforted her with a smile
And words smothered with honey, golden and sweet

Reassured she leaned to drink in pleasure
A sharp slice from his sword
Brought her reeling to her knees
Confused and blinded with pain

She looked up into the eyes of the Dragon
The fog in her head cleared - her knight was there
Comforting and strong - dashing away all her fears
He is her Knight? Not some ghastly beast

The Dragon, The Knight
The Dragon, The Knight
The battle went on for days
When will she see the light?

The Knight took the maiden into the tower
For what appeared to be protection      
The Dragon - cast her out
And she fell to the earth below

On the grass she lay
Her mind tangled
And heart dazed
Clutching her chest she drew in a deep breath

The maiden pulled herself to her feet
She drank in energy from the earth below
Power surged within her
This would end today

The Knight came to her rescue once again
Oh dear Gallant Knight, dear…. Sweet….. Dragon
This maiden has seen the light
Your reign will end today.
