Words flow from the serpents lips
With grace and care
Filling the ears of the gullible
The lies fill the air
And taint the ears of the innocent
Beware the serpent
Who wears a mask
So that none can see what mischief
Lies behind the silver eyes
Of the prince of Serpents
He finds though one friend
An unexpected one who
Sees right through his lies
And right to the heart of him
How he hates her and her friends
Though for every insult
He gives
She matches him
The Princess of the Lions
Brave and true
To what she believes is right and true
And the war that shattered
All beliefs
Left them in each others arms
Though on different sides
They found comfort
Two sides of the same coin
Both refused to see what their hearts screamed
Until the faithful day
When the Princess had lost her fight
'Death' she plead 'Let death take me'
Then she heard a voice that chilled her heart
The voice of the man she realized she loved
Yet he was an enemy
He cared not about her
Why would he
She had been a fling
She opened her eyes with defiance and rage
Flashing in those amber eyes
To find the silver ones of the Serpent prince
Staring into hers
She tore her gaze from them
And look around in wonder
As she gazed at the scene that laid
Before her
Her gaze flew back to him
I love you
The three words
He uttered hurt her more than death its self
She knew as did he
That trial and probably Azkaban
Faced him
Yet here and now they were alone
And that was enough
His lips burned as they touched hers
He had betrayed his family
Yet all he could think about was her
How could she
A lion of all things
Do this to him
Nothing could affect him
Expect seeing her helpless in the hands of another
The rage he had felt
It flowed through his body
Blinding him to everything
But the man who held her
Captive in his grasp
None should touch her but he
He who loved her
Oh how he loved her
He thought as he stared
Into those amber eyes
That held a flame of defiance
But then shock as she saw what he had done
Then all he saw was her lust
And felt his own desire mount
As he captured her lips in a passionate kiss
The serpent changed that day,
The lion wild and free
Had shown him the way
And so went their friendship and undying love
And faced many a challenges
But yet never waver
Though many said it would
The lion saved him that day
From a life in the wretched place call Azkaban
And gave him instead a life of love
