Act III – The Meeting
It happened quite some time ago
when dragons roamed the land
where knight and princess had their place
but never hand in hand
Here was our young knight sad of heart
whose world was crashing down
with spirit crushed he finds himself
just wondering around
He found himself a garden bench
and sat awhile to stew
there skimming pebbles in the pond
he pondered what to do
So lost in thought he almost missed
a beauty pure as light
he raised his head to meet her gaze
and felt his heart take flight
Here came our princess heart in hand
to sit beside our knight
she wished to take away his pain
which she’d caused with her plight
An’ talk they did for quite some time
until the hurt was gone
then talk some more ‘til darkness set
when evening light did dawn
Alas they had to bid farewell
so with hearts open wide
they promised they’d soon meet again
somewhere they’d not be spied
And thus goes forth our tale of love
in shadows filled with woe
our princess holds a secret still
which might destroy her beau

Act IV - The Dilemma
It happened quite some time ago
when dragons roamed the land
and kings did marry daughters off
to gain an upper hand
There came the mighty king’s decree
which spread throughout the land
a marriage soon would be announced
upon the king’s demand
the princess wished to choose her mate
and wed her heart’s true dream
our king did not agree with this
he had a different scheme
for knights and princes from all lands
would travel far and wide
competing in a tournament
to win themselves a bride
our princess is appalled by this
and wants to show them all
her heart is hers and hers alone
how dare they have such gall
to force her hand in such a way
her wrath shall not be swift
this tournament is hers to win
as is her heart to gift
but suddenly she is quite torn
by forfeiting the win
her sweet young knight could claim the prize
but losing seems a sin
And thus moves forth our tale of love
in shadows filled with woe
our princess has a choice to make
that might cost her her beau

that reminded me of the film with the red-haired irish girl that took her fate into her own hands by shooting the arrow so much better than any of those that came to the tournament.. it's a privilege nowadays when we are really free to choose whom we want to marry without being concerned about politics or kingdom..
