Sleeping Beauty

Locked in her tower our heroine sleeps alone This beautiful flower has been kidnapped from her throne She stares at the moonlight then drifts off to sleep To dream of a brave knight scaling the castles keep. Her flaxen hair frames her delicate ivory skin Vivid dreams of her hero reveal her beauty within Steadfast and strong and ready to fight to the death To rescue this beauty he will forgo his last breath. Her chivalrous knight enters the abductors domain Soon she'll taste the sweetness of freedom again. His shield raised high and broadsword drawn With every step he takes, for her hope is reborn Caught off guard with a blow he is swept of his feet He fights blindly on until his quest is complete To vanquish the captors is his goal and last wish Sweep the princess off her feet with a tender kiss He slashes the ropes that bind her to the bed Making passionate love for hours now they are happily wed 19th May 2014 Written By Jan Allison & Darren Watson ~submitted to Dave Wood's Imagination Contest~ Awarded 1st place - am so delighted to have won this with Darren he is my inspiration
