Tonight on the parapet
I stand feeling alone.
Not just from the night,
But the hard castle stone.
The message was clear,
The Crusade was now done.
You were headed for home
As the battle was won.
“I’m waiting my love,
As I promised I would.
Waiting for kisses
As only you could.
Awaiting your love
With your lips upon mine,
Awaiting your warmth like
The rush from red wine.”
Road weary and worn
You appear o’re the hill.
Tired from the fighting,
But my hero still.
In your armor you ride
With your shield and your sword.
Loyal men by your side,
With peace your reward.
You’ve finally come home,
Tis’ a welcoming sight.
No more leaving for you;
No more back to the fight!
I race down the stairs,
My dress dusting the ground,
You shout out my name,
And my heart starts to pound!
You bolt up toward me,
When I come into sight.
My hero, my husband,
You’re my Knight tonight!
