A FAIRYTALE

for those who daydream...

I thought it would come true
A fairy tale of us
Some wishes, some dreams for you
That pain would never last

You were my knight and angel
I was just a refugee
When the crazy thing came upon us
It's the only thing I can see

We danced and sang under the moonlight
I even slept on your arm
We played and ran along the shore
With you I felt no harm

The seashore used to be our playground
The waves became our guests
The wind and rain witnessed our vow
I thought twas the end of our quest

Until this day that I wake up
I found myself on this shore
I've waited, my knight and angel
To be with you forevermore

But sad am I, I found out
It was just a fantasy
There beside me was an old book
Now the truth is in front of me

Was our love  just a fairy tale?
Is there no chance for you and I?
The kind of love I just imagined
I will keep in my heart 'til I die.

They said never fall in love with a dreamer but we still and always do. There's something about beaches and seashores that sets the setting for romantic escapades. You did an splendid effort with this beach or ocean poem. Perhaps better than what I have penned. You have mastered the theme and the muse is well portrayed. Superb writing Dhaye. Thanks for sharing this here. Though I have read this before as well in HP. Its good to see it here as well. Keep weaving :) ...

I don't know you are still at HP. Aha! You are using a different pen name. But I think it's really fun when you are enjoying reading and writing freely without anyone knowing your presence in the site. Lol.
Thank you for the insightful review.

By the way, a Filipino poet has invited me to join the group of HP Filipino writers which is about less than 20 in number now. The group is for Tagalog poem collection where each member can post/contribute his poem written in Filipino language. I enjoyed sharing my writings, but...they are mostly teens or in 20's and active in the group chat. I am not fond of group chatting or maybe because I am not in same age with them. I am active in sharing my poetry, not in chatting. Lol

I don't have an account there. But I visit it regularly. I miss a few poets I have befriended there who likes my style of writing but I have to leave for reason I can't say but know. They have a very good support system there. I like WC. I like colors and music and you have it here. I can't be in two places Dhaye. I can't give my best and my undivided attention if I have or manage two accounts. Its good for you and Pax if you can do that.

When we were inactive here, we were active there for the reason that poets there likes short pieces. Sometimes I feel sad going here alone, or maybe lazy in reading and reviewing because of writer's block ( when I have it, I cannot make even a single statement in the review).

[Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)]

I miss writing with something as the prompt- a word, a line, a picture, a book title, a movie or even a name. I was more creative years ago...

Love never ends dear.
It was beautiful write with sad end but hopping it will complete soon with happy ending.
Then it will be true fairy tale.
Great job dear friend.

[Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)]

Thank you, Saddam.

[Saddam]

Most welcome dear.

I enjoyed this, fairytales are sometimes better than chasing after something that isn't real. Than being with someone who leads you into nothing but lies. In highschool, I remember having dreams about being in relationships with my crushes and having them work out, though they never happened, but the dreams began to comfort me.

[Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)]

I think that's true with me, too. Dreams comfort me...
Thanks, IAS.

[Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)]

Thank you!

[mournful bear]

I feel your heart, this touched me, like most of your writings, where I haven't been touched for quite some time. it beautiful to read these great writes you pen. thank you for keeping hopes alive!

[Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)]

Thank you so much

[jacob erin-cilberto]

i agree with gabrielle...it is good to dream and wish upon a star...but we have to understand that the dream is often not the reality----and it could be better to love the one we are with---as stephen stills once sang.

accept the real....because often by doing that, we can make it ideal....

oh but fantasy can take us lands away from where we are...so it's not necessarily a bad thing altogether...

this writing is really smooth...like a magic carpet ride.

[Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)]

Thank you for the insights, Sir J.

Love make us hope, dance and sing. Can make us cry and regret too.
"Was our love just a fairy tale?
Is there no chance for you and I?
The kind of love I just imagined
I will keep in my heart 'til I die"
The questions of love is answered by time together and life shared. Thank you dear Poet for sharing the excellent poetry.

Thanks, CP.

[Coyote Poetry]

You are welcome dear Poet.

A bit of fantasy may be healthy but too much of it makes us delusional. I think that when it comes to relationship, our inability to separate fantasy from reality is a deal breaker. The theme is quite sad, dhaye. I could almost see a woman crying over failed expectations.

[Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)]

Thanks for spending your time in this poem, Gab. It was an old poem I posted somewhere. I miss being creative here.

[gabrielle]

My pleasure, dhaye. :) I also appreciate your generosity every time you drop at my page.
