The Hero and the Princess
the rain falls heavily
the only sound in the eerie silence
I still stand where I dealt the final blow
my sword gleams silver grey
as the lightening flashes in the heavens
my breath slows and I'm finally able to move
an inch and then a few more
my body suddenly feels heavy
the sword crashes to the ground
and I slump to my hands and knees
taking no mind of the crumbling rock beneath me
my head falls forward and I close my eyes
with a deep breath I realize
it's all over
someone's calling my name
with great effort I raise my head to the sound
and see her beautiful face
her pale skin shining
in the light of the fading storm
I stare into her concerned face
and can see something more beneath it
feelings she can't put into words
in a rush of movement
she is at my side
helping me to my feet
there's so much I want to say to her
but I'm lost in her angelic presence
I turn to face her
so close I can feel her sweet breath on my cheek
the connection is there
we both feel it
the hero and the princess
who destiny brought together
she falls into my arms
the warmth of her body
relieving all the pain in mine
my hand caresses her gold spun hair
and for the moment
nothing else matters
the dying crumbling world around us
the rain that pours down
nothing can tear the bond between us
all the evil in the world could gather
and I would fight
to spend just one more moment with her
together in each other's arms
the hero and the princess
who destiny brought together
