Sleeping Beauty Awakens To Fate

SLEEPING BEAUTY AWAKENS TO FATE

Beauty shrouds its sovereign brilliance under extremes
The oppressive Black Forest of fairy tale dreams

Buried far below the palatial sunrise
Dressed in farmer’s jeans, burrs in golden nest
An orphaned princess plays, regality suppressed
Godmothers ensure her fingers bleed no spindle cries
Rose, cosseted from laughter -  the lust, that hopes she dies
Malificent doth yearn to steal her enemy's royal crest

Mine ears hear music
A sultry song of beauty
O steed so strong ~ ride yonder

Magnificent prince!
My heart shudders ~ I’m frightened
Sifting winds doth change my fate
