"
                                                            
                                                            
                            This all began at one fateful ceremony 
          Our passion for each other knew no bounds
              A sight of you that was plain to see
           But your father shielded you from my vision,                               giving me a menacing frown
             I didn't know who your name was then 
            But my heart told me we were meant to be
                                                          
                                                    
         The next day, we were closer than ever before
              I remember you standing there alone,
              gazing upon the scope of the horizon
                 My surroundings began to change, 
       as the beauty of your countenance touched my core
                Into the great dark blue skyline, 
             you watch intently on the moon rising
                                          
  With my heart jumping nearly out of place, I ask, 
                 "Can I have this dance?"
           The smile on your face was flawless, 
            as this told me it was a "yes"
 I could have leapt with joy in the moment of my chance
          But like a gentleman, I extend my arm,
                  trying to act my best
                                            
      You hook my arm and we walk down the shoreline
    It was the perfect setting for us share our romance
     The sand tingling beneath our toes felt so divine
         We didn't need music to have a good time
Because my love for you was enough to enhance this dance
                                                       
This night would be memorable to me as I held your waist
                  I knew day by day, 
our fondness of each other would never be put at bay
    Hearing the plaintive tone of your voice, 
                  made my heart melt
      With you, this was a feeling I had never felt
                      Never knew, 
lurking in the shadows was a talebearer of deception
                                                          
                                                
                                                 
   Minutes later, our connection was an inception
  Didn't realize that there would be interruption
Her father came, storming down the hills of the village
Clouded with fury, I knew his intentions was to kill me
          He grabbed his daughter by the hair 
          And it was too much for me to bear
                                                     
  "Get away from my Grace, she's not like other women!" 
       He pulled out his sword from his holster,
              challenging me to a battle
       I had no choice but to engage with him, 
          "Lord forgive, for I have sinned!"
                                                    
 Her eyes filled with tears as he slung her to the sand
The sight of that made me freak, for I didn't understand
                                                       
                                                    
         How was this the love of a father
  Weren't they supposed to protect their daughters
As though in answer, our swords clashed with one another
   Pouring out feelings from their holders' soul
         My love for this girl was so deep, 
         she's the one who makes me whole
     Whoosh! I hear the harsh wind from his swing 
    As I'm ducking and dodging, with the skills of a pro
                                                                
                                                      
     I couldn't help but feel the one responsible
           Not a bad guy, I'm truly humble
            Without a moment's hesitation, 
       he faked an attack and parried my blow 
     I was left wide open, defenseless and cold
   He thrust his sword forward to bring me to an end
  But my life wasn't to die and conclude with tragedy
    Then I realize that Grace jumped in ahead of me 
              as she tries to defend
 
   Hopping back, eyes locked with sorrow at his mistake
      Sword had met flesh and that would never change
She collapses to the ground, quickly, I rush to her aid
      Her face looked pale and was chilled as ice
                As she smiles one last time, 
           the light begins to fade from her eyes
Life didn't make sense so I screamed into the dark skies
            Perceiving to what he had done, 
      the father held the sword to his neck slowly
    And he gutted his throat and committed suicide
        For his existence, now had no meaning
  He was just another man to me , called "Lowly"
         I glanced at Grace for one last time
                                                                    
                                                 
     Wiping a descending tear away from her face
       The moon shone a glistening silver on hair
She was the most lovely woman I had ever seen in my days
              Bending down, I whispered, 
           "Is this how our love fades away?"

Author's Note

This poem took me too long to do well in my opinion. I wanted to let people the shade parts of love of what could happen and what shouldn't happen. If I have made any errors I will remedy it with my edit. Hope you all feel the emotion and understand story. Enjoy...
