The Royal Heroine

ROYAL HEROINE

A pure damsel
of noble borne
with her crown
unseen,resting upon
her noble brow.

Though in thoughts 
and gaze was
something entirely
different, the libration 
of her own clan.

So to arms
she chooses, sword in 
hand, shield on the 
other,bow and arrows 
lie still in her back, as 
she bears the wrath 
of a decade slavery.

She was seen
under the cover 
of darkness
leaping the vallies and 
climbing hills.

The heaven burst 
open
in torrent of tears
mourning those yet to 
die by her blazing 
sword.

Furry burns brightly in 
her eyes,ignated like 
the olympic lamp, her 
feet were swifter 
than galloping horses 
charging into battle.

She was a mere 
shadow,yet cutting 
deep into flesh, 
separating bones 
from marrows, 
slaying thousands by 
her arrow.

She gave death news 
to their foes
and increased their 
woes,she made them 
taste the cold steel 
with which she 
bought freedom.

The sun rises and the 
chirping song and 
heavenly taste of 
liberty 
echoes forth from 
broken chains of 
slavery bounds.
