Mike Gentile Poet Rhyme

The Other Side of Fairytales

And from the rain I shall emerge 
   though drenched in pain and scarred by love
For nothing solely worth the wait
                          is easy,, we must rise above

And what’s a little sorrow now
                             the other side of fairytales
Not just a carriage in the sun
                    at times, a walk on beds of nails

But oh, to seek its just reward
              to reach the place where love is free
To know the one that you adore
                         is safe despite the costly fee

Goodbye to rain, bring clouds no more
                      for now the sun is here to stay
The fairytale of children’s prose
                       is here and proudly on display

And from the rain I shall emerge
                I say when times are filled of tears
For knowing once the face of love
                  will serve to conquer all my fears
