A fictional write of a loveless plight…
Once Upon a Dream
"When you're wishing upon a twinkling star
Gracious fairies gather from realms afar
Sent to mend hearts what’re broken in two
Bringing love of your loved one home to you.”
Once upon a dream a long time ago
You came into my life and charmed it so
Gently kissing my lips, you kissed my heart
Beneath glowing beams of heavenly stars.

Above the rainbow pretty bluebirds flew
In a fantasyland made just for two
A magnetic rapture of sky above
Perfectly enhancing the mood for love.

 Beauty of each moment, minute and hour
Unfurled alike an exquisite flower
Till time came and spelt close of our romance
Breaking the spell that made our lives enhanced.

Bittersweet are finely tuned joys and grief
A song in my heart on constant repeat
Rhapsody that brings back both dear and sad
And movie star magic dreams we once had.

If only we could time travel aback
Capitulated to mystic comeback 
Reliving memories, heaven blessed
Of golden years that were simply the best. 

It's lonesome without you, to proceed on
Days are long from dawn to setting of sun
Yet no one out there my heart would embrace
Not in the universe of outer space.

I view moon and stars through mist of my tears
Wishing us back to future's tranquil sphere
Joyous together in true love light gleam
Our hearts entwined, as once upon a dream.

Sad yet romantic. Many can relate to this. Enjoyed reading as I just cannot write romantic poems.
