Sleeping gently in her hidden coffin
she lays there content until
she feels clawed hands touch
her delicate face.
Her eyes open in fear but
she dares not move giving
the owner of those hands
any power over her.
But to her dismay they
know she's awake because
she was breathing so they
cover the coffin again.
After what seemed an
eternity the unclaimed
hands put down the coffin
and opened it once more.
There beside the coffin stood
six ladies standing around
and seven more just in the
background with their eyes averted.
As soon as she sat up
all the ladies fell to their
knees for the dark princess
has risen again to lead them.
To lead them into dispair
to guide them in the ways
of the dark goddess and give
them the strength needed.

Listen not for noting empowering story of suductive leadership of the inevitable collapse of the darkside empire, buuut, I'd say I'd rather be blind and lost then her lead. But, I felt as though I'd accept the coffin so those ladies could get off there knees. Ummm, anyway, great poem!

I do like the direction you took with this prompt. This has great imagery and a very good storyline. Loved these lines...
"Her eyes open in fear but
she dares not move giving
the owner of those hands
any power over her."
