Sleeping Beauty

by Dark Angel - Pisces

The sleeping beauty awakens in her day
Surrounded by the mornings light
Dew drops shimmer on her windowsill
The gaze in her eyes so warm and bright.

Captured by the warmth of the mornings sun
Her skin smooth as silk and extremely fair
The sun's beams gently caress her body
As her fingers slowly run through her golden hair.

All her life shes known such happiness
Never a tear shed to smear her complexion
Offered everything she could ever dream of
A life unknown to many, one of pure perfection.

Perfection built behind man made walls
Love something known to her but not required
Good health an aspect of her royal existence
Wishes granted on every demand, anything her heart desired.

While in her room there's a knock on the door
Disturbing her silence and mental state of peace
Upon opening the door there stood a noble knight
Spouting her the news that the castle has been ceased.

She was led to her father's dark dreary dungeon
And locked away to pay for her family's debt
The sleeping beauty no longer lives a life of perfection
But rather one filled with grief and regret.
