She was a a girl of reservation and quiet repose

Sleeping awake, waiting for the moment that everyone knows:

A time where her heart's fate could be decided

By a knight in shining armor, a counsel most invited


She waited for rescue from what she was not:

A lover with a passion that boils more than the pot

She yearned for a favor from the opaque days:

A way out of the life that she called her maze



Sleeping awake, she noticed her toss-and-turns

And always tried to ignore the fiery yearns

But she knew that her flames inside could only be satisfied

By a knight with a love that showed and would never hide



Then came her rescuer, right on the very double

And with one kiss, freed her from all her trouble

He breathed a new life into her; He was some kind of fellow

She said goodbye to her old life, and to the new one, "Hello"

Although it isn't absolutely necessary, it would be a plus if the poems/songs rhymed.

I would also like each line to be about 10 - 15 syllables long as I may put music to these later.

Anyone is welcome to join this collab, adding a poem in the above mentioned style. The theme can be anything NOT MATURE with a fairytale spin. For example, you can take Cinderella and retell it how you wish, mixing it with other fairytales or other stories from the Middle Ages, such as King Arthur legends.
