"Shadow Princess " The Retriever

Zero Card (your personal faery guide)

Have you ever heard of a shadow maiden?
One not quite so fair with whirling, twirling, crinkling hair.
Such inky wonder that it cast a shadow like veil.
thick ropes of bondage where they fell.
Now you may be wondering why you haven't heard of such an exotic
Wonder with her jewel encrusted eyes; beaming mahogany thunder.
There she lays all forgotten wrapped in wool and lace.
as poppies cover her lovely sleeping face.
Neglected comforts of silk and vines
For one sorrowfully neglected by time.
As pools flow and florescent jewels dance
There she lay by chance to never move, to never see,
to never breathe. A figure of bitter chocolate spun skin and
Periwinkle lips slumber whispering of nightmares evermore.
Exiled from the world, trapped in a cavern of betwixt and
betweens of shadows and dreams.
