This isn't your average fairy tale

The Sky is falling

The clouds are crying

This isn’t your average fairy tale

Black snow falls

In crimson rivers

Shadows lurk everywhere

What is this dark place

So enchanting

Utterly entrancing

And hypnotic...

Low whispers are carried by the wind to your ear

Stay with us, love

The voice is deep and seductive

You find yourself following it

You can't control yourself

This is no average prince

But a king of the night

He gazes into your eyes

Why does he seem so inviting,

Yet fear curdles inside you

His breath so cold

Makes you shiver

Half out of pleasure

Half out of dread

Cages hang around you

Carrying so many stories of past and

yet to happen

Stay with me...

He murmurs, drawing you close

The sky is falling

leaving darkness and blood

Lovely crimson rain falls on your face

This isn’t your average fairy tale

And this dark creature

Is no prince

A dark side of "your average fairy tale". I LOVE dark tales, and my princes don't always have to be knights clad in shining white on white horses! In fact, I think I prefer the kings of the night!

Sounds like when a dark faerie leads you into the forest. Not that I would know.... anyways, I really liked this poem! Beware of the dark pretender.

Wow. This poem is hypnotic! I literally could not tear my eyes away from the words once I had started. The structure is very interesting and the dark feel to it makes me want to read on. It's really just a terrific piece.

I love how dark and different this is. Fdor some reason the "proince" reminds me of a noble fairy from the unseelie court, yet agin you say he's not a prince. ^^ Awesome write! ^^
