The Perfect Fairytale

I am 

A perfect
mind full of deceptive fables
candied with hope filled
nightmares born of diluted
fantasies

I am 

A perfect
carcass of misery,
whose, while waiting for charming,
heart was blackened by 
venomous kisses
left by an evil prince
whose lips tainted
this poisoned apple

I am 

A perfect
fool, grasping at 
the sun's intangible
promise, scorched by the
burn of my own hesitance,
leaving my fingerprints seared 
with an inscription
reading, "Only when you believe"

I am 

A perfect
disbeliever believing
reality reads better than fiction,
and no dream sprinkled with fairy dust
will magically imagine me
somewhere over the rainbow

I am 

A perfect
unfinished story,
searching in a forest of
lions, tigers, and bears
for a yellow brick road
that will take me to
never-never land,
to a happily ever after
mirror mirrored

of beautiful dreams
destroying these horrid beastly
realities

I AM 

A PERFECT
FAIRY TALE

How these contrasts of light and darkness dance within you, Teeya. Striking, piercing thoughts of fact and fiction; those desires to make a world of wonders come true somehow. I walked so long in that bleak shadowless forest, it was a sweet relief to finally find Neverland. xo

Thank you for your poetically smiling review:)

A blend of phantasms beautifully introduced, and introducing, glimpses of reality. Of course the percentage varies with each reader and that of the writer. Which of our dreams could we, should we, live? An excellent write Teeya. It shall be a recurring mind stirring source for weeks to come. Tom

This is such an amazing twirl of contrast and balance, light and dark, truth and fantasy. The way it simply, stunning flows makes it powerful and so beautiful. Just lovely!

Its different kind of styled poetry to what i have read before.
I like the way you put so much emotion into it, and how it was full of deep meaning.
It defiantly tells a story.
Job well done :)

Awesome poem!
Perfect description of life,
and how different points in our lives
can make us disbelieve in happily ever afters.
Thanks for sharing this piece I enjoyed it very much.
Keep on writing.
