Poem
I walked into the castle Up on the hills and in the glens There she was dressed in white satin She was wide eyed and smiling The princess of sleep, mist of the morning A fantasy to keep She was an angel, all in virgin chiffon Her life a bed of white lilies She slept her years away In dreams of better days Her heart was tormented, grasping vitality Years and years did pass As suitors and kings came to see Wishing for the hand of a sleeping princess For she charmed them even in despair In her tower, alone, solitude her only kiss She wished for a knight in black armor To rescue her weary soul Travel to untold lands of happiness Where sleeping life’s sorrows were banned She dreamed of dances and musical romps Dreams that never came to pass As she slept her days away At dusk she’d wander off, away from the castle walls Never to return She walked into the marshy swamps Life was at an end She prayed the swampland ate her whole Never to be seen again The ogre saw this saddened soul and felt a twinge of fear For he cared about this sorrowful stranger As she woke to drown her sleep away This ogre could not bear Surprised he jumped and pulled her close Why do you, princess come here in despair? She looked up at this muddy smelly soul She smiled as the ogre saw into her wounded heart For she knew, from somewhere deep within She would never sleep again Dressed in the kingdoms finest robes She knew she was naked before his eyes The ogre was as shocked as she As he saw beneath her skin This he knew was the kindest heart The voyage was about to begin Together they marched heart in hand Happily sharing life’s torments
