The Royal Balcony

A garden on pillars, caressed by winds,
was built by a king, using best minds.
With fish in it's central pond,
it faced the lake and hills beyond.

The princess was a bright star,
who shone in the eyes long and far.
They say when she stepped in the balcony,
the city gathered to see her play with her pony.

A slave once, took to mutiny.
To glance the princess, he could go to infinity.
After climbing ramparts and avoiding guards,
he stood before her, with a hand on his heart.

The gorgeous and shy blushed so like beam,

the flowers there dimmed in a team.
Love again played peculiar,
royalty had fallen for a servant of his valour.

But before he could dream of the crown,
a dozen swords appeared, and the king with a frown.
Brave blood spilt all over the place,
the royal balcony was closed after that case.

Today that blood has dried,
the palace is abandoned and cursed,
by the tears she cried
and was forced to be the others bride.
