Three Stages of Love

My fairy tale love was with a knight.
He stood under my window in the castle tower,
sang minstrels' songs of love and adventure.
I thought we would be inseparable forever,
kept pushing against the waves of old laws
in the world we live in.

My tough love came when my heart was kidnapped.
A barbarian chieftain wanted all of me for him only.
He fought many wars against the cross and himself.
I didn't know that my attempt to heal him
would hurt me in return.

My mature love is yet to come.
I see a son of king with wisdom in his mind
His word will heal my wounds from the past loves,
and his hands cradle me to thousand nights of sweet dream sleep.
I wish for courage to place my trust there.
