Zarman Spain Diaz Poet Rhyme

The Told Tales I Wonder

Mirror, mirror on the wall 
who's the fairest of them all?
Is it the lady in red with snow-white skin?
The knight in shining armor who slayed the grim?
Or the poet in nude with shamed scars and wounds?
Mirror mirror on the wall
my reflections dry tears fall. 

 Genie, Genie in the lamp,  
my wishes are your command. 
grant me a kiss that wakes me from my sleep.
give me the love that thaws my frozen heart.
End my story with a happy ending.
Genie, Genie in the lamp
gave me curse instead of wishes 
 
 Rapunzel, Rapunzel let down your hair!
Gold as the sun, long as my frown. 
envied by the ugly love by the many 
but every story has a dark history.
Rapunzel, Rapunzel let down your hair!
Stop hanging me from the air. 

 Mother, mother, tell me a story
about the prince and princess with all their glory,
monsters and villains with their twisted thinking 
Until I fall asleep ‘til the first star in the morning. 
Mother, mother tell me a story
about the reader who tried to escape his reality.
