Hair red as dawn sunlight on treeless hill, 
Celta closes her eyes against gray gloom 
and whispers through rose-petal lips wyrd spell 
that conjures urgent vision of the stream 
swirling around her pale legs in moon rings 
dire wisdom of ravens on star-black wings. 

Curling slender fingers of freckled hands 
to spool kinetic flash of energy 
in taut dynamic coil of spiral bands, 
Celta chants pulsing words of empathy 
that shields her wounded heart with firm resolve 
to search for love where time-blind angels delve. 

Frail spirit inside ruins of stone walls, 
where her grandmother reigned as jeweled queen 
in grand castle destroyed by cannon balls, 
Celta strains attentive core of her mind 
to hear and comprehend fear-puzzled thoughts 
her ancestors hid in wave-battered boats. 

Entranced by inner beauty of her soul 
that emanates through gray glow of her eyes, 
Corbin emerges from sea-fetid swirl 
and offers red apple from dreamless maze, 
so Celta consumes sweet tears of the sun 
while pacing round stones of the weedy lawn. 

While Corbin kisses her with tender care 
and whispers oath to guard her sacred soul, 
Petrus entraps her with his greedy glare 
to proclaim she will perform regal role 
as bride of his hearth, then orders his men 
to arrest Corbin with strong legal chain. 

Caged in grand court hall of the greedy king, 
Corbin watches wedding of his Rose Queen, 
heart aching when Celta wears diamond ring, 
whose eyes gleam when she drinks gold grail of wine, 
then ascends stairs with him to tower room 
where she will execute his fateful doom. 

When Celta returns with white hands stained red, 
holding severed head of the tyrant high, 
the people cheer and celebrate her deed, 
proclaiming her new Queen of Liberty, 
then free Corbin who gives her jeweled crown 
that glitters when she reigns in blood-stained gown. 

Though Petrus destroyed castle of her home 
and controlled fertile land of her lost clan, 
Celta restores her state with Spell of Doom 
to rule her people with generous hand, 
assisted by brave Raven of her Heart, 
who protects her through code of their star chart.
