Ice Princess- Dusk to Dawn

Ice Princess-Dusk

She's all alone
The Ice Princess
Locked in an ivory tower
Not of her making.
She was warm, once
The sun smiled on her.
Now since the lie,
Part of her did die
The sun went away
And she began to freeze

Darkness

The cold no longer frightened her
In this frozen, isolated tower.
The confinement beget solace
Torment and sorrow giving birth to power.
Standing on sanity's precipice,
The Ice Princess mused
Twisted smile wreathing her face
One careless moment, loss of control
With a single thought, she'd be free.
What difference did it make, after all?
Rage, pain, tears and sorrow
Teasingly numb yesterday, razor sharp tommorow.
Let it consume the soul, the mind break
Shatter the body, her heart take
Leave her violated, it could hurt no worse
Than the sweeping away, the loss of sweet illusion
Of sugar-spun dreams, now melted in tormenting confusion

Deepest Night

The Ice Princess saw the sun afar
From her Ivory Tower high in the heavens.
Would it ever warm her again?
Ever again would she dance in fields of sunbeams?
A chill, sharper than steel, sliced her soul
Running nowhere, the Ice Princess was trapped
For the first time, she wept, longing to be free

Dawn

Soft, warm tears melted the icy coffin of her heart
Wails shaking the foundations of her Ivory Tower
This was her prison no longer!
Timid, tiny steps found her in the sun
Its warmth drying her tears, lending her strength
Shivering in the shadow of the Ivory Tower in the sky
So she danced, slowly, uncertainly, farther
Into sun-drenched fields, bright with promise
Losing fear, only hope and peace remaining.
A keening howl, a roar in the distance
Eyes wide with understanding, the Princess laughed
The Ivory Tower was in ruins, all rubble
And she danced free and unafraid in fields of sunbeams once more.
