Bloody tower

Telling here a tale of a prince whos love has been stolen from him by a wicked witch who seeks to disgrace her in a tavern with a lowly serf but the prince in black armour rescues his love in the nick of time though she remains unconscious under the now dead witches spell. Or is there another story entwined?
the bloody tower of lost lament
stands frozen to the hour
where on the ramparts highest reach
he'd held his perfumed flower
the vacant strain of memory
like a bitter teardrop falls
a distant jester trills a melody
but vengence scales the walls
boiserous warmth of beer drunk breath
concealed a dark intent
from cursed lips and kissed caress
sang the spell of deaths lament
the witches deed now almost done
as her jealous eyes beheld
two innocents now danced as one
in consciousness dispelled
a pale eyed minstrels cadence played
the bawdy doors thrown back
spellbound looks turn centre stage
a swordsman dressed in black
the evil hag screamed out her curse
cut short upon his blade
a final breath was cut mid verse
blood poisoned black night shade
gathering then his golden jewel
as silence fell around
he slew the witches chosen fool
cut him to the ground
no minstrel there would play again
so unfolds the widows tale
who slowly croaks her sad refrain
her son on sword impaled
a full moon casts its silver peace
across pools of yesterday
where tears of loss found no release
for the swordsman so they say
a white witch calls o'er that bloody tower
she casts three spells each day
across his golden jewel, his pefumed flower
that they shall have their day.

Thank you sparrowsong. By all means share on Halloween - accompanied by spooky lighting perhaps.
I have a huge soft spot for poems that tell a story. Love this x
Thank you so much. This was so much fun to. write. My stories can be frivolous too.
This is one of them that is so very much deserving of the full whack of stars, the pin and me punching the hell out of the green heart-shaped button thingy up there ...................... Neville :)
Thank you Neville, don't go damaging anything punching, i've only just got here.
Hello Dusk...
I was thinking flashlight...
You know how people look really scary when they hold the flashlight under their chin and definitely some spooky lighting around the circle...
Ooohh!!!
Spooky indeed!
Have a squeaky door ready to sound...
All in the timing...
People would be peeing in their pants... Lol.
Thanks for letting me share...
