The princess wasn't in the tower,
because the castle was empty by the time the knight arrived,
beaten and battered by the dragon he defeated to get there,
in hopes he was the one guarding her,
but the treasure boxes were empty.

Ego enraged he made his way to the palace gates,
only to find them in ruins,
for she was in none of the places he looked,
but in the one he never imagined,
before he even began his journey he met a begger covered in a hood,
her voice was soft and her eyes hidden,
she promised all the jewels he could ever imagine,
and a love life he could never fathom,
but he angrily replied as he had no time for stalling,
he was on his way to rescue a damsel in distress,
to over come her heart and bask in her...
