The Birth of A Princess

THE BIRTH OF A PRINCESS

As the sun slowly sets, she will awaken

She looks about her and her new life has her shaken

She visits the mirror, not knowing the site

She's never seen her skin so creamy white

Bringing her fingers to her lips which have become the color of red wine

She remembers her rendezvous with in the ivy vine

She is taken back when she notices her fingers and nails

"This only happens", she thought, "In stories and tales"

"The kind with moon drenched creatures"

And now she bore their features

That man...THAT MAN...Last night's pleasure

He said that he had more than treasure

The memories flooded back and filled her mind

Of the note she's received which was perfectly lined

"Meet me in the garden. By your beauty, I am awe struck"

So on it read until it was in her mind and stuck

A twig cracked and she twirled 'round

A man with black hair and sunken cheeks she found

One thing went to another and she felt the pierce

The bite that made her look so fierce

She dressed herself in her normal leather and black

And hunts for dinner without looking back
