Kiera the Knight

Kiera the Knight
Was of Arthur’s Knights,
But she was hidden from sight
For she was the only female knight,
And knowing would lead to the kingdom’s blight.

She guarded him in any fight
For she had enormous might
And courage, a true round table knight,
But on the dreary night
When Arthur found out the height
Of Gwenevere’s affair with a knight,
He ordered Kiera to end her light.

Kiera did not agree with his order despite
He was king. She wanted things to be right
Not the execution of a queen in a few nights.
Arthur assured her everything would be all right
And that this service can ignite
A new flame in his life’s light.

On the full moon’s night,
Kiera was invited to visit the white
Queen. “Gwenevere thank you for this invite
To your chamber, I promise to be polite,
But unfortunately that might
Not be the case. I must recite
That the king knows quite
Well of your time with Lancelot the Knight
And today will be your last night.”

Kiera pulled out her light
Dagger from its brown leather tight
Scabbard. She charged and stabbed with all her might.
Gwenevere did not even try to put up a fight.
It was her fate, out of Arthur’s spite.
“Gwenevere, you do not deserve to live tonight
For committing adultery with a knight.
The king—dom is mine.” Whispered Kiera the Knight.
