Chris Green Poet Rhyme

Why Couldn'T We Have a Fairy Tale Ending

Why couldn't we have a fairy tale ending
Who made the sun bring the cold winter chill
Why are kind gesturers an act of pretending
How did our heartbeats become ever still

Where is the joy that we found ourselves sharing
Happiness falling on much darker days
Meadows of flowers now weeds never caring
Blue skies are hidden behind sorrowed haze

Dreams slowly scattered on desolate oceans 
Washed up on shore as the sandcastles die
Tossed overboard with the weakest emotions
Salt coated tears the horizon does cry

Once perfect mornings now afternoon weary
Gazing on edges cut sharp by the storm
Forecasts are sent in a poem that’s dreary
Standing afraid as the thunderclouds form 

Hiding our eyes behind last April’s fashion 
No cotton fabric for sale on the rack
Finding that drab is our lone source of passion
Marked down for clearance way out in the back

When did we give up on promises pending
Taking a place after push comes to shove 
Why couldn't we have a fairy tale ending
What ever happened to forever love

Paloma P October 21, 2016 at 5:38 PM Fairy tales are just that, those marriages that lasted way past Silver & Golden are a thing of the past it seems. I really like that fifth stanza, very original Chris, a woman should have written that verse. :) Chris Green October 21, 2016 at 5:53 PM You're kidding, but what about all those Disney movies I saw, you mean they weren't real? : ) Thank so much my friend. You are probably right about that, sad.
