Awakening

Awakening

 

 

As a prince I have a princely duty

to place my kiss on Sleeping Beauty

animate her with my fabled charm

enfold her in these faithful arms.

But as her stirring breast is borne away

from evil spells that I‘ve supplanted

I bend once more to softly say

'O don't awake too disenchanted'.

 

Reviews

Nice and concise. Thank you. "Too disenchanted" caught my attention. That is to say, one will inevitably be disenchanted, the hope is that it is not too terrible.

[Montag]

Thank you Brad. It does seems there are pluses and minuses to being enchanted.

[Brad Dehler]

Very good. True. interesting concept

[Ken e Bujold]

"too disenchanted" as yes, the ever-continuing continuum of our original sin. a short but stimulating riff on our first fairytale. enjoy'd as always your old world riffs Montag

[Montag]

Thank you Ken. Maybe when I'm discovered and published, my first collection will be called 'Old World Riffs'. I'll give you attribution of course.
