The princess who was a knight✨
The princess who was a knight A deep red Was the dress that adored her petite frame Angelic features framed by lush locks An earthy brown were her hair Scented of cinnamon The young night aged As it's stars - shining in her emerald eyes Sought out the lost Warm was the summer night That called upon by fate Grew devilish And tang was the reek Of the blood that her heart bled In remorse for the battles they had lost A peopled kingdom the glory of which Withered away Melting into this very summer night Then her eyes flashed And her mouth hardened Silver was the sword she raised And heinous was the battle she braved To restore the land to its once flaunted lustre Eventuated was the miracle of her soul, And Gold was the courage that was her! ~Ananyaa Joshi
