Just my take on a fairytale |
A single rose amidst the weeds So gracefully benign Forced into rags and tatters But her beauty still would shine. Her hair as gold as sunlight With eyes that shone like dew A kindred smile and porcelain skin And heart so pure and true. To her the moon was beautiful The stars even more so Night gave her a freedom That daylight could not show. She worked from rise till sunset Always hoped to be reprieved From the step-mother who hated her Still one day ~ she believed. Though she felt such isolation From the treatment she endured She found her solace in the things Society ignored. Like the beauty in the twinkling stars, The way the clouds float by, Or how the moon consistantly Alit the midnight sky One day there came a letter Much to others dismay A ball held by the royals To be held that very day So taking out her needle She designed a perfect dress That her step mother ripped into shreds A cut would hurt no less Once they had all departed By her window she did weep And wished upon the brightest star A wish so pure and deep A beam of light then flickered And much to her surprise That standing there before her A fairy who had heard her cries "My dear" she cooed in gentle voice "I heard your solemn plight" "I give to you what you desire" "But only till midnight" The girl, she looked in wonder As the rags she once did wear Were now a dress of spider silk Glass shoes where once was bare "Oh thankyou!" She cried in delight "Your welcome" she did call A carraige from a pumpin Then took her to the ball Once there she was the envy Her dress the guests all eyed The ball was there to find the prince A pefect princess bride "May i dance?" He called to her "Of course" the girl then said She danced with him the whole night through Till midnight when she fled He chased her down a flight of steps But only found her shoe "I really need to find her" She was the one; her knew! He trecked the land for many days And finally did find The house that held the beauty That was there inside his mind "Please try this shoe?" He pleaded And her foot slipped perfectly "You are the one" he shouted She said "you are my destiny" She never thought he'd find her This man she once did meet Prince charming he had saved her He had made her life complete. |
