A story-like romantic Renaissance poem.Sometimes when you least expect it,you can find love and that love can change everything you know.

He was going to have her
He was going to tame that girl
A wild spirit
She made heads whirl
Long brown hair
And deep green eyes
A beautiful body
She would disguise
She’d fight like a man
She’d never take a lord
Her mouth as vicious
As a steel blue sword
He had to have her
He was going to make her his bride
He didn’t care how long it took
But in her father he’d confide
He’d tell him
She was old enough to marry
21 now
If she didn’t soon do it
She’d turn into an old cow
Her father said
You’ll never get that girl into a gown
She always wore the pants of a man
Displeasing to some
It would make them frown
She had dreams
She wanted to fight
With the boys of castle
She would become a knight
She promised her hand
If he could win her in a duel
For no one could win her
She could be so cruel
He did not want to hurt her
He wanted to let her win
But not to have her as his wife
Would be such a sin
Twisting her arm
Behind her back
He put her over his shoulders
And said this is what you lack
The strength of a man
To make you whole
Now give me your hand woman
For my heart you have stole
Until he had did this
Her feelings never changed
But gliding into her heart on a wing
Her emotions gave way
To a beautiful thing
So much for being a knight
She now wanted to look pretty
She dressed like a lady
Laying down her sword
So much for being a knight
She was now married to a lord
