frog prince

by Shanii - Scorpio

they called herself/ 
the princess child/
a beauty without boundary/
they called himself the poor boy wild/
his life in abject poverty/
she was her father’s only child/
the Midas man/
his very soul, his heart and eyes/
loved and cared/
and pampered round/
for her dainty toes to her /
velvet crown/

he gazed across the castle walls /
a wall too steep /
for his shoeless feet/
yet his heart/ 
was over the barred iron gate/
a letter of love so great/
she melted in his touching gaze/
though never seeing his eyes /
nor his handsome face/
yet she always knew /
he waits/
it was simply fate/

he held her in his arms /
one night/
a moment brief, a kiss so sweet/
a prince at heart and one in fate/
is it the fairytale?
or is it all hell /
has broken loose/
is it the Doomsday bell?
fury of a father enraged / 
to avenge the youth and save his babe/
and broke their hearts/
and broke their souls/
their love, their dreams and happy hopes/

years may catch /
on the bars and stones/
the bricks replace the castle walls/
yet on their souls the world will drop/
for the story is /
the same of since/
no matter how many a time/ 
you kiss a frog/


it cannot be a prince!
