Fairy-tales BrokenA Poem by shallimarRose
Love bestowed a gentle kiss Wrapped in warmth of lovers
bliss Through the threshold of his
charm There came a wave of dis-alarm
Where bargains made of
blackened chips And aces wake to inward
whips Of licorice stems on
chocolate roses The should have beens And I supposes
There fairy castles made of
wine Have inner rooms where
royalty dine Upon the carcass in the sand Of dragons slain in
fairyland
And carriages built of paper
cards Are drawn by memories
disregard Who carry to the very end And lose the yearning to
descend
The happily and for ever
after Lost its way in violent
laughter Born of boisterous lofty
lies That hid behind the silent
cries
Of broken dreams and fallen
princes Fairy-tales with solemn
glimpses Become the saddened ended
story Forever lost its lofty glory
And shudders close on inward
dreams Of mountains built near
chocolate streams Where fairy elves are found
near death The songs of silence, left
bereft
