My Princess Awaits
But how do I even start?
Perhaps with the time of day,
How the weather is beautiful
And the birds are chirping
A harmonious love song, just for us.
No…too cheesy.
Maybe with how she looks,
How her skin is fair like it’s kissed
By the sun.
No…too cliché.
What if I focus on her guitar, the black
Instrument that produces such music that has my stomach
Whirling with butterflies.
No…too cutesy.
My sigh is confused as I stare at the girl of my dreams
Crystal eyes looking down at her guitar,
Slim fingers plucking a simple tune
Enchanting me, nervousness
Rooting me to the spot.
Why can’t this be like a fantasy?
A knight in shining armor, a princess in distress,
Happily ever after.
But this is reality
Smooth armor now worn and rusted, chips where past
Princesses turned cold and happily ever after
Is now once upon a time.
My hand had a death grip
On the hand-picked lily,
Petals wilting under the heat of the sun,
Stem slowly bending out of shape
From my nervous hand.
It wasn't perfect but it is
My only offering to the girl
As dazzling as a jewel adorned crown
Belonging to royalty, as magnificent as a horse drawn chariot
Carrying ones of pure blood, and as deadly as a dragon,
Guarding only what it’s meant to protect.
What if she laughs at what I say like I’m a jester,
Entertaining her at my own expense.
What if she pays no attention like I’m just invisible,
A poor peasant begging for a piece of bread.
Or what if she looks at me like I’m the most
Pathetic house slave in her entire castle?
But maybe she could be the one, the queen ruling beside me
Hand in hand, ruling my…no
Our kingdom for years to come.
Perhaps all I have to do
Is just walk up, smile and say that simple word that starts it all.
