princess of hearts

silent as the errant moonbeam
which steals in to my boudoir
on swift winged quick
silver feet
she landed
who could
she be in this forest
known as sherwood
reigned by me
the outrageous outlaw
robinhood
who only did the poor
good

magically invisible
she paused by my humble
hammock
and reached over
and plucked the
medallion hanging
overhead
fascinated i heard
her drop down
to the stream bellow
and tide its gleaming depths

i stood in shadows
in my hands a
golden wayward lock
in my locket i kept .

o nymph of the woods
it will be worth the
chase to take something
you did take from
me
none other than my
smitten heart

Wonderful work. The spirit of romance lies at the heart of every heroic legend.
