The Curse of Beauty - The Haunted Lake
She bathed in the pool left from a wondrous waterfall
Her precious skin glistening from the warm waters
The world was inlove with her as the birds watched
her bathe and the sun kissed her freckled face.
But beauty is a double bladed edge. Unwanted eyes came
upon her flesh. Unaware, he watched her undress,
A pig infested with greed, He could no longer resist.
She is taken to a place where gods grace does not shine
her body is chained, her spirit remains, her soul is left behind
Now she haunts the lake, chasing off people until she finds
revenge on that man. It's death for his crimes.
