Pearly Tears

Though out of breath, she ran through the crowd Muscles contorting, showing her determination and strength "I can't wait to show him off" she thought out a loud The sisters would be green with envy I will show them yes! Gato can get to the acme The sister's watch her run into their gathering The setting glow of the sun, radiating on her skin Her natural hair, thick and full like a lions mane Hmm no wonder she is as proud as a peacock So fortunate, the Gods could be quite unfair "I am getting married, a prince from  faraway land with a castle so large and splendor so vast ,it could rival kingSolomon's I shall be his queen, I shall have servants to tend to my needs butlers to pour my wine and a fountain to quench my thirst" Gato it would be wise to wait for the scouts to return With proof that your prince is true why should I ? Is it not a known fact that my beauty is the bane of your existence? I care not for soon I shall be clothed in pearly apparels when my prince come to take me home. It's been a fortnight, yet no one has heard from her prince. Frazzled she stared at the stranger, walking towards her I am your princes royal chief guard I shall escort you to meet him in your new home.   With pride and joy,she prepared her self The sisters were sceptical, but who would say a thing and risk her fiery tongue lash Farewell,farewell they wished her She beamed excited of the luxurious life awaiting her I shall go no farther she murmured A bath, I haven't had for days and my clothes wreak of sweat she groaned My back aches and my bones are tired she moaned Only a mile ahead and our journey ends. He urged The people cheered her on The rumours are  true ,they say She is as glorious as the moon she looked on in wonder, at the grandeur Indeed the brilliance is as  promised, Her crown were made of pearls. she wore it and twirled Where is my prince? Why do he wait so long to see me? Why do people shake their heads and sigh when I walk by? Why do you all hear me  but noone speaks? I shall go for a walk to clear my head When I return I demand answers The aroma of freshly blooming flowers engulfs her, I shall ask the servants, to bring them in at dinner Ahead of her lies a grave with newly made stone head and on it, was written in gold Here lies, the remains of the prince of faraway land Her scream seared the wind as she beat her chest in anguish Here lies the price for her pride Her knees gave way,as she falls to the ground and by his grave she shed her pearly tears
