The Place of Slumber 8

Its face then changed from beast to man
A curse had bound his soul
To wander nights and reek havoc
By evil, which had control.
As foretold, he’d be set free
If a pure one could see his heart
And show affection despite the curse
Then the curse would then depart.
Now he stands in front of her
Like the day that he was born
Fearful not of her watchful eyes,
But her judgment on this morn.
He feared that she would hate the man
On whom the curse was placed.
A smile appeared, he did not expect,
Upon the maiden’s face.
