Your Presence

Come and possess,
My kingdom...
Princess.
My stressful search
For you has ceased.
I feel your presence,
Near and within reach!

My armor worn...
On the white horse adorned,
Still glimmers as bright as the stars.
Although in those days,
I wore it for your praise...
Now I am dazed and quite forelorn.

I recognize now,
You suspected me on the prowl.
For maidens to gather and waste!
But my eye has been on you...
Seeking ways to win and woo.
I see too clear you are different.
Much more different than I knew!

Come and possess,
My kingdom...
Princess.
I confess my heart is yours!
Whatever I must do,
To prove to you I'm true...
I will.
As sure as the sunset,
Comes to caress...
A festival of moonbeams,
With you shining the best!
Glittering and sparkling...
Far out glowing the rest!
