We Can Scarcely Believe

A courtier arrives at your estate, and
demands your two daughters over 18
take the test of the crystal slipper.
You know this story only too well,
and it always ends badly for you.
Your daughter is eloping on his noble black stallion.
His? No, his lordship's. After a brief chase,
he is captured and your Miranda isbrought back
to the court. No one even considers
her feelings, how hard this is for her
to pretend she was abducted, when instead
she surrendered, a dozen times she surrendered
to her rescurer, who is now traduced as
a rapist. When guards dragged him
from the torture chamber, his body limp
and bleeding, in a miraculous moment
his captors drsgged him past her, and
for a second their eyes clasped, and both
saw only love swelling with the truth of
passion. "I saw into your soul, my love,
and it is the mirror of my soul, your
truest thoughts now inhabit both of our souls."
The guards mocked him, beat him, threw
him in a dank cell. "Oh, my dear soul,
this prison is the latest test of
my capacity to love. I will not fail you."
And truly it had already been written
in the Book of Fate their love would prevail
and they would be true lovers for decade upon decade.
