Crystal waders 👠

“What if Cinderella never tried on glass slippers?!”

– Elizabeth Lim

A poem based on the book, "SO THIS IS LOVE" written by Elizabeth Lim.
With my own added end.

“When the clock stuck twelve,
In the mid-night you see;
Magic of my wand is gone,
‘Nd your beauty remaining solely.”

“The horses turned to rats,
And your wage a pumpkin.
Beautiful dress is rags ‘nd,
You’re no more a Princess.”

“My dear girl, your beauty;
Your beauty lies in soul.
The true love you sparkle,
Can sparkle dirty trolls!”

“Spread your warmth throughout,
Let them see your charm;
Shine like a beauty girl!
Since you are my beauty darn.”

• 

She went to the palace ‘nd,
Danced with the Prince.
Love of her life was in front,
In the form of an unknown King.

Not knowing his actuality;
She kissed him under the sky.
Then the clock stuck twelve,
And she needed to fly!

Went running through the hall,
Straightway to big gate;
She left a shoe of crystal,
In the hands of a little slay.

He gave that to the Prince;
The shiny crystal cleat;
The Prince hold it smooth,
And searched the beautiful lady.

---

Scene – 2

The shoe fitted none;
Saint searched every one.
Only,, she was left,
With another broken wader.

The Saint was just in front,
But poor girl was locked.
She cried a lot for help;
But lowered was her tone.

Her stepmother was cruel enough;
To let her try for once.
Since she knew the Princess,
Who was found by none.

She didn’t want her be seen;
She didn’t want her be bride,
Of the king to be;
And rule the national pride.

---

Scene – 3

Poor girl was left in humour;
Humour of her cruel stepmother.
She’s going to sell to earn,
A little more finance over her.

Her life would then be ruined.
So she ran away that night.
Found a hearty lady on road,
and made her, all by her side.

---

Scene – 4

While working in the palace;
“YOU!” She heard a voice.
Startled ‘nd trembled she looked,
At the same unknown guy.

Now she knew the Prince,
Asked him to stay away.
Said, “This do not suits you”,
“To have a maid your bride.”

Confused Prince looked at her,
Could not speak a word.
She left him being all ‘lone;
In the empty lone.

---

Scene – 5

The Prince talked to his aunt.
Told her ’bout his love.
She made him comfortable;
‘Nd said she’d talk with her.

The aunt made it clear;
It’d be difficult to see her Queen!
But soon it’ll be habitual;
Since she’s not heartily mean.

---

Scene – 6

The next month watched a wedding;
Beautiful and grand in the world!
Whole town was invited;
To lunch and see new bridle.

Stepmother was invited too;
With her two ugly daughters.
Dressed in heavy gowns;
In that heavy weather!

She stood one step ahead ‘nd called her;
Cinderella found her in midst;
She called her to come in front;
Though she was not that ease.

Suddenly the clouds came over;
Black and thundered wound.
Magical wand came falling on her,
Turning darkness ‘way from town.

Suddenly a magic turned;
Eyes were on the girl.
Her dress turned to a Princess’s;
And shoe became crystal bond.

She knew it was her magic;
The magic of the kind soul.
The day became memorable;
Not only for her, but for all!
