Sleeping Beauty

A poem about my favorite fairy tale princess ^_^

Sleeping Beauty

I

Deep within the crevice, 

of a tower of brier

a girl lay trapped,

 within a dark desire

acquiescent to the lies

 around her

tainted memories 

slowly begins to blur

II

Forever dethroned, 

to no more but ash

lamentations in vain,

 blood stains the velvet blue sash

when will you come rescue me, 

dearest prince?

for so long I have waited, 

for you since

III

I seek out the light, 

that shines through the curtain

The wonders out there, 

brings hope I am certain

may it be your warm hand,

that takes me away

your sugarcoated lies, 

that leads my heart astray 

IV

Oh dearest prince,

I dream of you every night

your sweet mannered smile, 

would be a pleasing sight

unbind these chains,

that hold me close to the abyss

the cry of the banshee, 

stirs my heart amiss

V

The dark plagues my world

be it Satan's token

a music box plays

a spindle wheel broken

VI

The happy ending 

that in dreams I see

may it all turn out, 

as a childish plea

the words I've lost,

 heaven be spoken

the story of a princess 

whose eyes will never open...

Roses and silver ire

dance in the moonlit sky...

grant me my one desire...

do so, or I shall die.....

shedding tears of contempt

bleeding wounds of regret...

in darkness I repent.....

sins I wont ever forget

Author's Note

Were her dreams nothing but images that had no value?
