Key To the Fairytale
Dear Diary writes the Queen
in her journal
about a mirror of such imagery
in which you can live soo vicariously
of peasants and slaves
oh the high coo
of an owl
The princess is a verse
poetic you'll learn to recognise
She comes across a book that writes itself
and for each that hold it
it writes differently
but in a verse soo free
The prince is a story of prose
personal experiences out looking for love
to face his nemesis
he has been trained through mazes of gardens and staues
keys and paintings
to find out
how to unlock
doors to lead him to his oracle
his shimmering prize
speaking in riddle
Quote the peasant and the vampire has his own psychic attack
The wizard will reveal in his ballad
stories of false prophets
giving the true one cursed not to know he is true
a place to hide
To whom it may concern,
sincerely the jester.
Dear mother
dear father,
dear lawyer,
dear lover,
dear martyr,
How can one fool inspire the wise from laughter
to life lessons
of modern day tears of spy training and politics
that just isn't funny!
Paragraphs for the hag
The Queens parrallel to curse
the peasant everyone quotes
The witch dreams Os
to fool your eyes three times
The king's story is all first person
The false prophets and martyrs
are all narratives
and in them the vampire whispers
hidden in the valley of shadows
Lymericks and other idiocies
tell the peasants story
like how writing makes me stupid
And somewhere in this mess
there is a tortured victim writing speaches, standing for something
and in all these layers can you find the solution
to how we've cursed the ghost with this fairytale magic
in the puzzle pieces
in the riddles
in the layers there is a ghost writer speaking to you!
