Skin as white as snow,

Lips and cheeks as red as blood,

Her raven-black hair.



Two become parents

Because a girl-child arrives,

And changes their lives.



No mirror will show

How children create parents

And problems for all.

But Narcissus knows
That mirrors only show us
What’s empty inside.

Lives come to impasse.

And the child must find herself,

Alone in the woods.



The lonely hunter,

Comes to rescue the princess,

And becomes her prince.



Red blood on the snow,

****** innocence gone,

Desire fulfilled.



Two become parents

Because a girl-child arrives,

And changes their lives.



Skin as white as snow,

Lips and cheeks as red as blood,

Her raven-black hair.
