Requiem Of Innocence

The doomed love of a knight and a maiden.

Requiem Of Innocence

They met upon the bridge of Starlet,
She a maiden, he a knight.
Two lovers from a feuding kingdom
Doomed to share each other's plight.
In secret, the two lovers sat
Entwined within each other's fate,
And hand in hand they walked the pathway
Leading to the castle gate.
They breached the walls to flee in silence,
Riding on the castle steeds,
And sought the sanctum of a peasant,
Joyful that their hearts were freed.
Alas, the castle woke in turmoil;
Either side the other blamed,
And war broke out between the kingdoms,
Family names forever shamed.
It was not long 'fore they were forced
To flee into the mountains high,
And fell together on his sword
Beneath the starlit winter sky.
They lay as one, their hearts bequeathed,
She a maiden, he a knight,
Two lovers from a feuding kingdom,
Resting 'neath eternal light.
