Heart of a Queen

I will be a Queen to my King.
By his side, I shall walk, head held high
and if need be, I shall walk behind him,
For his love, on a path of fire,
I shall lie.

My King's strength and power are my protection and
even when stones of hate, aim at my heart,
He would give his life for me and keep me from dark.

As this love knows no misery, nor happiness too,
behind me, my honor he will defend
And when death's hand takes my last breath
My love for him will know no end.

How to set the womens movement back 200 years in 12 lines.

I get your passion but really can't relate to the content, especially that line and if need be, I shall walk behind him, nowadays subjected women walk in front, to check for land mines. cheers, Jess Forever unwrapping the eternal present.

Trying to capture a particular time period.

It is customary in the Middle East for women to walk behind the man. If need be, I shall walk behind him......this was a piece I was trying to capture a long, long time ago. What would you know about the women's movenment? Dina Ps I am working on a poem about an elf that lives under a mushroom who takes a bit from time to time and thinks he can fly.
