Teddy Bear Ursula
Ursula clung onto her teddy bear
Silver hair like waves in the sea
“To be queen - she who would care
That is how my kingdom loves me”
Her family lived by the cross
Peaceful by the ocean
With no fear of loss
Subjects prayed with devotion
When the 16th spring came
Descended Ursula’s holy trial
Instilling faith was the aim
For obedient civilians in single-file
They travelled with serenity
A moon passed in elation
Dark was the night’s identity
When nomads joined their location
The leader had the crow’s hair
With blue eyes that matched his son
Bringing food and drink to share
The two groups celebrated as one
As the cliff yawned with dawn’s approach
The leader-child brought Ursula to see
Her demise by his hand
As he pushed her to sea
When a monster steals your life
And another steals your kiss
As your legs turn to inky black
You black into the abyss
Why was the only way to survive
Was to lie into another castle
His majesty’s best servant?
What a hassle.
With the stringent guards down
King Triton never knew
His ‘most loyal’ maid
Would be bidding “adieu”
In isolation, you played the game
Nefarious schemes and confident struts
Brought you civilian loyalty
And closed their lives shut.
I wish to obtain what was rightfully mine
My kingdom on the seashore is the goal
But who says I can’t start small
By taking Triton’s water hole
So when I encounter the red-haired mermaid
Wishing to meet the human prince
“Raven hair, blue eyes, white cross”
I snatch her voice, ignoring the wince
Perhaps He is at my side once again
I haven’t believed since I entered this hell
The curse would enjoy a companion
Who knew to kill just as well
I took center stage in violet
He stared at me dreamily in white
Walking across the deck to my reaper
Singing in falsetto, ready to smite
The deal was sealed with wedding bells
Crashing to the floor, my soldiers stormed the door
Perhaps this curse of mine was terrible to bear
However, the gifts it gave me was to die for.
