    “Not So Happily Ever After”


    Aurora awoke to a prince, desire


    found not within her aching, empty heart


    for him, noble Prince Valiant who art


    her savior, now through debt of life her sire.


    Oh promise foul! A long sleep and a kiss


    once thought to bring her a love ever true,


    instead to wake her from a dream, to rue


    ever the day he stole, guiltless, her bliss.


    Now he lives a dream, crafted by her hand,


    a painted love, her weeping heart hid ‘neath


    her beauty, smile, in small hope to bequeath


    a sense of love for this innocent man


    who meant in all goodness her life to save


    instead, by her own honor, now a slave.
