Happily Ever After
Once upon a time long gone …
The reigning queen let out a yawn,
And stood up from her regal throne
To trample down the hall alone
She ripped the crown from out her hair
And flung it out the window there,
It tumbled down the castle wall …
No knight or king did hear it fall
And off the ground it did

Can happily ever after exist?
Can happily ever after truly ever exist
Where we live in a world that looks like this
Where we live in a society that favours division
Because how can one truly be happy
In a world that excludes and is racist
How can one have hope this will happen
Especially when you're black It's not something we get

Not so happily ever after
Who am I to think by the age of 25 I would have it all together?
I thought I would have a happily ever after
I thought I would know everything by now but all I know is that you’ll never be what I need you to be for me
I know that you’ll put your needs

Happily Ever After
Once upon a time
In the context of a rhyme
I asked something of you,
If you would say, I do
No fanfare and no scene
Just cowboy boots and jeans
A flower for your hair
That evening in my chair
A Paris honeymoon
Roll out of bed at noon
Champs Elysees sweatshirt
A floral patterned skirt
A walk out on the rue
Hand in hand
...

Happily never after
Mirror, mirror on the wall,
how do you choose
the fairest of them all?
why do you get to pick apart every single person
that never gave you the right?
Snow White ate less and less apples
until she became so thin a gust of wind could’ve blown her away
and she needed a strange man to save her
What if he tried

millions...
of dollars
in bank account;
he's a wealthy man, yet
true happiness
proves
much too expensive

happily discontent
when the sky breathes poetry
through sepia-streaked silence,
and the earth reclines, listening
to the music of weeping wisterias~
blowing in the pulse of bleeding paradise,
I swallow sizzling stars
within cloaked scars,
comfortably blanketed
in self-woven wounds.
while you, the prisoner of my past,
keep revisiting empty journals,
lacking crystalline colors of comfort.
as crimson are the lines
across pages of pain,
and rhymes left unwritten~
stretching through margins

HAPPILY DISCONTENT
One may wish to own a JW Turner
The art of art is the skill of knowing
And recognising every good earner
The online market for art is growing
Yet it is more my greed I must quell
One needs a real space for showing
With my few fake Masters left to sell
I found a gallery, as credibility counts
For a

Happily discontent, that I am, that I be
Happily discontent, that I am, that I be
now future
happy discontent
achievable out of reach
joie de vivre bags of regrets
what I am now what I could be
love the journey are we there yet?
live in the present dream of becoming
I'm truly self made I'm reactionary, dependent
let it be, let

15
There was a time I remember
When life felt dreamy,
Whose memories now seem fuzzy.
How did I realize so soon that life is not Disney?
Someone please tell me—when did I turn 15?
It feels like yesterday when the people in photo frames were with me.
How I wish I could go back and say goodbye happily.
There’s not much I

And They Lived Happily Ever After
Once upon a time
In a land not far away
Two people started playing
One hoped for a someday
He'd met his perfect pardner
With her he saw himself
He realized that he loved her
But kept it in on the shelf
Then one day he told her
Of a dream he'd had by chance
He played guitar, she sang a song
It was all about

a big believer in Happily Ever After
Hallmark Christmas movie
Handsome man meets gorgeous woman
Correction.
Handsome man who is a millionaire meets gorgeous woman.
They feel an instant attraction
At least one of them is resistant
But they fall deeply in love
There is a misunderstanding
Woe is me; all is lost.
They will be going their separate ways.
In the last five minutes everything is resolved.
It is a huge happily

HAPPILY DISCONTENT
reaching-out with love
discontent yet happy heart~~~
moves for caring deeds...
midst skepticism
discontentment strives toward~~~
joy's functionality...
though apathy grips
positive discontentment~~~
works for sincere mirth...
discontented glee
does persevere to triumph~~~
yielding thankful life!

Happily Ever After for a Fallen Star
a fallen star dove in the middle of the Kansas forest of fir
Landed next to a gorgeous dainty violet that quickly adopted her
I will protect you until my dying day, the violet said, all cherry and merry.
Moss scurried over to get some credit too, as did a wild strawberry.
star had never felt this loved, she

HAPPILY UNAWARE WE ARE
driving with no care in the world
watching her sleep soundly until we get there
i feel Bountifully Blessed Right Here
i am wondering what i did right to deserve her
those who know me know that i am an acquired taste
i get emotional and Give Thanks to The Father above the blue skies
it is then that i become
