Snow White (Part 6) Poem by Marieta Maglas

He took her in his arms. He wanted to kiss her for the last time and to kill himself,
Someone told him to hit her in the back with his hand. It was the voice of an elf.
That piece of apple came out of her throat. Snow White came back to life.
The prince held her again with his arms and couldn't stop kissing his future wife.





The wedding was set for the next day. Her mother was invited as well.
She told the king, ''This evening we are going to the wedding. I feel like hell! ''
‘'Mirror, on the wall, who in this land is fairest of all? '' the queen wanted to know.
‘'You, my queen, are fair; it is true, '' replied the same mirror through its glow.



It closed its eyes and said, ''The young queen is a thousand times fairer than you! ''
She was so overtaken that she couldn't speak. She saw at least that her eyes were blue.
So jealous she was thinking of the young queen that she dressed herself in black,
But no one noticed any difference. She saw in her mirror the deadly crack.



She has quickened her heart with a cup of hate and a very sarcastic remark,
''All white is not always white due to its mask, when white becomes dark.''
They put a pair of iron shoes into the fire. She had to put them on and dance,
She couldn't stop until she danced her death and the end of her Gothic romance.



Against the blackness of the winter snow, the white is still melting in Spring.
A blue sky above us may defy all odds when its silence may precisely sting.
Against the white of the moonlight glow, the black may have its sense,
But in front of the power and the money's show, love is always a pretense.
