Damsel in distress looks for the knight.
Hoping he be true,
Maiden stuck here to wither.
Low and behold,
HE appears!
Gallant steed,
Breath of wind garners his mane,
How can he not be the one foretold?
Hero slays beast or witch.
Climbing ivory tower steady and true.
Grim marks fade on Damsel,
Hope overflows her primrose heart.
Together descend to duel deadly labyrinth.
Twist and turn, Look to see, here listen,
HE pretends not to admire the Maiden’s beauty.
Promise of life as two within a Dream Kingdom awaits.
Red hearts kiss breaks a spell.
Hero rides the sunset with his Beloved.
End too soon, lovers brought home.
Wonder, wonder, when does a tale end?
At death with no life to give
Or, in marriage which does not bend.
What end does reality make of such a sweet happily ever after?
