His King's Daughter

He was a boy destined, and happy to
serve the royal blood from the shadows,
stepping forth only to lead behind a mask
when the king was gone, and no ready heir stood
in his place.

He hadn't wanted to, nor thought, he'd ever
actually be king – but the king's daughter he grew to love
beyond duty and more than love itself, and king
he did become, alongside her.

No longer dud he serve in the shadows, but stood
with his lovely wife, under the light of the moon
and on the earth's bare back together.
