Green and leafy forest light
Watching over maidens plight
Purple night dark and cold
Witches plot, evil bold
Red rose lips cold to touch
Drank the poison with her lunch
Black and dark the misery sleep
Hoping waiting faeries peep
Greying hags place dragon there
The maiden sleeps in its care
Silvered moonbeams lead the way
show the beauty where she lay
Golden hair and silken gown
Waiting for her lover’s crown
Chestnut hair and tempered blade
Prince comes dragon slayed
Ivory skin smooth and soft
He gently lifts her aloft
Pink lips to hers kiss
Lost in lovers passioned bliss
Brown eyes of liquid grace
Open now – her perfect face
Orange freckles she sees abound
Feels her heart begin to pound
Blue eyes crystal clear
Proposes marriage without fear
