Love Poem: In a Castle On a Hill

In a Castle On a Hill

In a castle on a hill,
Sat a king upon a throne,
Who thought life was dull and still,
Because he was alone-

He summoned castle criers,
To find a bride to be,
They canvassed all his shire,
And found suitable were three-

The first was very pretty,
Marked vanity was her want,
The king felt it a pity-
Only looks she liked to flaunt-

The second yearned for power,
Her heart was full of greed,
Demanding things each hour- 
Of love she had no need-

The third was quite possessive,
Each friend of his she shun,
The king found her obsessive,
And knew she not the one.

In a castle on a hill,
Sat a king upon a throne,
A ruler of free will,
He chose to be alone!

          Moral of the story: Better off alone than with one who doesn't love you!
