red lipstick

“make your choice
a warrior or a princess”
asked the king,
father of the only daughter
So, he could find the most eligible
“future king” of his state “groom for his princess”.

But she was passionate about horses and swords
as much as she loved her pearls and red lipsticks.

And that’s why
she chose both

and now when she is not busy
saving the world
she sits in her garden
amidst the butterflies and flowers
with her red lipstick
and pearls on.

And when the time
comes,
she becomes the knight in shining armour for herself and her kingdom

She is the queen
who loves
swords and red lipsticks
