His Queen

.............................They                                                 looked.
                         She saw him,                                      He saw her,
                     In the morning light                           of the early Summer.
              And when their sights interlocked, was when they could barely walk.
           For their youth was just new, as the morning dew, that soaked their hands
      and feet. Crawl turned to run, when their youth was barely due. As the meadows
  rang and the crickets sang, when the sun began to set, Their abbey of golden grass did
   wake. Together they reigned, in the shining cloak, of their arcane kingdom's vein. His
      hand in Her hand, they pranced and ran, in the dyed riches of the August sun. As
        the time came, when day was lame, and night was out to walk, they said their
            byes, and lullabyes, and went to sleep again. Years go by, their dreams 
               come to pass, of their sun-soaked realm and streams. He grows tall,
                 kind and serene, like a King is meant to be. With eyes that spark
                   and a loving heart, He seeks,"The One for me". She grows with
                        grace, as her stepping pace, is that of an angel's gleam.
                           Her golden hair, glowing eyes, skin of softest creme,
                             reflects within her every step, like in their earliest 
                                  dream; Her smile could bring to the knees
                                    about anything that breathes, including
                                       a childhood King. So He brings her
                                           to the meadow, where their
                                             friendship first entwined.
                                                  And asked Her to 
                                                     be His Queen,
                                                       of another
                                                          kind.
