Love Poem: Steed

Steed

Racing my steed
Across hostile ground
I must come to your rescue
For I am honor bound

As a Knight of the court
You, fair princess,
I have sought...
Evil foes abducted you
Fear not,
My lance and sword is true

Lay they dragons in my way
It will not slow me by a day
All will be slain
And their corpses lain
Upon this hostile earth,
The one which had seen
my birth

My steed of steel
Gives me confidence
Which is real

Then I'll climb
The tower wall
With no fear,
I'd slip or fall

To your chamber window
Make off our escape
My only asked reward,
To kiss your silken nape

My steed awaits
To carry us home,
Before we once again
Return to a life
that does roam

Awaiting our next adventure
My mighty steed and I,
Leaving a beautiful princess
Home to softly cry...

For she wanted us to stay,
But my mighty steed and I
Can not in one place long lay.
