The Mystery Box

A Wizard trapped her reflection. To be within the mirror forever, She had spurned him with rejection. Two keys to a mystery box hidden forever. A brave young Prince wanted to set her free, Solve that secret of the mystery box. So he began the search for the first key, To open the first of the two locks. He braved a dragon high on its' nest, But he did not find the key hidden there. He battled Ice Warriors with his best, They had no knowledge of the secret to share. Then he would save a Witch from a Demon Banshee, She told him all he had to do was ask for his reward. So the Prince was given the first key, He searches on, battling a Demon Hoarde. Years pass him by, until that Wizard he faced, The Prince was an old man, he still would fight. The battle was long, the Wizard was disgraced, Gaining that second key was a victory sight. The Prince travelled back to the mirror and mystery box, He was tired and very old, but he would set her free. So he took out both keys, and he opened the locks, A light surrounded him from the beautiful sight he could see. He is young again, he has his life given brand new, From out of the box, he took out a diamond heart. Now the girl starts before him with a heart that is true, The Prince lifted her up in his arms, for they shall never be apart. copyright Chris Smith 2010
