Yet, the foul sorcerer forgot

That no matter the harshness of reality

True love has forever fought

For its own right to actuality

----------------------------------------

And so, although Lady Death reached to claim

The ill-lucked Prince as her groom

His tender affection for the Enchantress to his aid came

And in a ghostly form, his gentle soul escaped Doom

Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

----------------------------------------

Left alone with her fate, the Enchantress in the floor kneeled in pain

Tormented by the unjust incomparable loss

That no mind having experienced, could ever remain sane

Suddenly in her hair felt a loving, tender toss

----------------------------------------

Looking upwards to meet her fallen lover’s gaze

A familiar imperceptive frame was what she found

Her fallen Prince having crossed the Maze

That all mortals are forced to wander in the Beyond

----------------------------------------

Yet by loving affection having prevailed

The tenacious Prince in front of his beloved stood

A soft and warm smile covered his face like a veil

As his invisible hand moved to caress her face in the only way he could

----------------------------------------

A transmutation in her tormented face occurred

The darkness that clouded her features turned to light

Like an albedo alchemical transformation had just stirred

The marriage of Mercury and Sulphur, as they lovingly unite

----------------------------------------

A retribution to his fond smile into her face a way found

As once desperate tears into grateful ones turned

Her own hand moving to touch his without a sound

As the lost lovers, into each other’s embrace returned
