Daily Showing on my mind
Favorite "Once Upon A Time"
Curtains open, lighting dims
Hush of crowd, now show begins
A preso de amor
Fairytale, once adored
Valient armor, eyes of green
To his secrets, she was keen
Years of blame in-lined reflection
Daggers aimed in wrong direction
As love's battle draws ever near
Anticipated audience is filled with fear
Damisela, with a cry
"Mi amor, do not die!"
He pretends to be dead
Too shame filled as he bled
As strong soldier of another
Gains control of his lover
Tower bound and afraid
'Twas for safety that she prayed
'Til gallops whispered in hear ears
On white horse, as he appears
Escaping ever silent, he is gracile
Swept off, in sunset, she was to castle
Soul-connected, their hearts again
Promised future until "The End"
Yet challenges awoke, again in an instant
Like in sleep, were his emotions, now distant
In theatre, hear their faint sounds
Through tears, those watching on were drowned
Doomed to fail, this battle of war
Stabbing words as sharp as sword
Without practice in the art
He blindly sacrificed of her heart
Deeply closed off to her pursuade
Without farewell, sold her for trade
Like dragon's breath does burn of fire
So was her heart full of desire
Curses the day...
And Our Matinee
