Rapunzel and Her Heroine

She was trapped

By a man 

A father who denied what she would be.

She was a knight

That the king approved

She was a woman transformed after years of secrets.

And now the king had a task

That his best knight was needed for.

"A girl in a tower

Lost to a kingdom years ago

By a father, a wizard, a ghoul of a man

That could not accept the love she felt."

The knight had rescued before 

And rescued herself

Both from dangers human and not.

"I accept your mission

And I will protect her 

From the evils of the world

That plague the same love

And that plague the new identities

That plague her life and all others."

The knight rode off

And found the tower

That Rapunzel was trapped in.

"Rapunzel, sweet girl,

Woman full of love,

Your neighbors send a hero

To free you from your prison!"

"A heroine, if I my eyes see well."

A smile from below.

"Indeed, a woman always of heart and now body!"

A smile from above.

"Then please come up!"

Rapunzel's hair fell down

The heroine climbed up

And they saw each other face to face.

They leaned toward each other

And tried to kiss.

But he appeared.

A ghoul of a man

Yellow teeth, green skin

Mucus in his speech.

"Corruption will not take mine!

My daughter stays, and your eyes' light dies!"

Rapunzel took the knight's hand.

"You can't stand up to this,"

And she kissed her heroine.

The love turned the ghoul's stomach.

His insides burned through his skin

And the love of Rapunzel and her knight

Killed the hate that sought their end.

And Rapunzel and her heroine

Returned to a kingdom filled with love

Colored blue, pink, and white in the knight's honor.

The women married

and their love lived long

Even beyond death!
