ONCE UPON A TIME

ONCE UPON A TIME

It had been
Raining
For days
And the 
Princess
Was getting
Tired
Of it...

She  could
Bear
It no longer
For, her
Beloved
Due to 
Cloud bursts
She could
Not see.

She paced
Around
In circles
In her
Tower...

Brows furrowed
Fists clenched
Teeth barred
In angry
Anguish
Stamping her
Foot
Every other
Moment!

No one
Could 
Calm
The rage
Though
Many tried,
They were
Slapped 
In the
Face!

At last
There came
A yell...
Away with
You
Let my voice
Break
Your spell...

Go on and
Flee!
Let me
And my 
Beloved sun
Be!

The rain
Stopped
And the
Beloveds
Were united
After a great
Many 
Rain spells.

Happily
Ever afte
They lived
The sun
And me!
