That Never Was

My heart was born in Fairytale
A place near Idle Whims
Ghouls and goblins knocked on my doors
Yet I never let them in

Then one night as I lay in whimsied dream
Came an alien to my town
Sullen footsteps strolled upon my floors
His lighted princess had been found

My eyes awoken with a start
My ribs then shattered and bore apart
To reveal the quaking vibrance of my heart
He touched it (gold) I've never been the same

As he whispered gently of his name
And asked if I'd like to play a game
I should have cried no but 'yes' I could not refrain
From the taunts and tensions his tongue campaigned

For just as soon as he came, he left this town
My heart wasn't 'golden' and bore no crown
Still the tears, they keep on rolling down
For the Fairytale that never was

That dream of 'us' held so long ago
Still a marriage alive within my soul
My heart no longer beats where warm blood doesn't flow
Just a carriage of rumpled, stilled, skin. No glow.

My heart was made golden by his blinding touch.

This left me breathless! Your use of metaphors to describe this sensual encounter and the use of fable in Rumplestiltskin is so intellegent and moreish!

[Solilokiss]

AG, your gracious praise is appreciated. Kind of you! And yes! Rumpelstiltskin, wasn't sure if it was too hidden in there, but so glad you spotted it! Thanks a mill :)
