Snow White (Part 2) Poem by Marieta Maglas

His bag of accusing words was opened and ready for her heart to fill.
Her swear about playing fairly by being in love was like a bitter pill.
A subject to change himself was his escape from her malefic mess
And all the power she used had the purpose to gain her success.



She summoned a huntsman and asked him to push the little Snow White
Into the woods to stab her to death just in the middle of the night.
As proof of her death, he had to bring back her lungs and her liver
Because the queen wanted to cook, to eat them, and to feel that shiver.




The girl was scared to death when she saw him taking out his knife.
She convinced him to find, however, a solution to spare her life.
After promising to run away and never to return from the forest's core,
She asked him to take the liver and the lungs of a young boar.



She admired the accidental depth with which the oak forest was draped,
She went quietly and very quickly because she realized she escaped.
She stood for a second while the breeze was flowing with her breath,
She heard her mother's voice telling her the secret about life and death.




She heard the birds singing. She wanted to be like a bird very much.
Sitting under a gigantic mushroom, she avoided the light touch.
Like shining diamonds were the misty clouds above the oak wood trees.
She stayed there for a while to enjoy the symphony of some honey bees.





However, the cold nighttime came to hold all her empty, unwanted dreams,
While hallucinogenic horror images were there to catch all her bleeding screams.
She woke up, but the fog's confusion enshrouded the dawn's entrance.
In the forest, the mystery was cast in some strange fairy shapes by chance.





Dry, huge branches hardly hit her and swished in her sweet little ears,
She noticed that her wet clothes in the rain were mingled with tears.
Suddenly, she found a little house in the middle of that forest.
It was well hidden and nicely surrounded by red flowers as a florist.
