Premium Member CHANGES

May we all be blessed to be like Alice in Wonderland 
and before our life is done…
realize when it comes to fairy tales…
we’re living in the middle of one.

Premium Member DAILY GRATITUDE LIFE

I have always loved Fairy Tales…
stories of adventures large and small…
For they set the groundwork for teaching me how life
is 
the greatest adventure of them all.

As children they loved listening to fairy tales
of adventures…large and small
then once upon a time they discovered

Premium Member Glass Slippers

I have always loved but never believed in love.
From the start I was your rockstar princess.
Fairy tales mend even the most broken hearts. 
Your song found mine and the glass slippers fit.


Premium Member MIRACLES IN CORNERS

If you believe, as I do, in fairy tales….
then believe this message from Little Jack Horner….
who with only his thumb discovered
miracles can be found in the most unlikely of corners

Fairy Tales..

Fairy tales ride

On the feathers of time..

The feathers fall and

Reveal the wisp of time..

Leaving the sky

Not-ending and open

For new tales arising

And feathers falling...

Premium Member Our Time

our
time
cashed out
way before
the meter expired
sending our dreams somersaulting
helter skelter to the whims of what never was planned
leaving fairy tales breathless, our favorite song, weeping still, in the landfill of love

pond of piranhas become as hot as Hades clothesline of deaf ears 11/11/2017
A gloom I found hot as Hades in a garden of dreams, fairy tales, romance, and music.

Premium Member THANKFUL FOR DRAGONS

Today I’m thankful for dragons:

For showing me the wonder of magic and fairy tales…
because, when I think back I am still amazed…and proud…
remembering the first day I experienced that magic…
when I saw a dragon in a cloud.

Fairy tales and make believe,
Incredible life changing adventures,
Characters that come alive,
Time after time after time.
Intense emotions are displayed,
Overwhelming odds overcome in a
Nice diversion from reality.

Crossroads of Mind

Fairy tales
dwell in fantasy, 

But reality 
stands before me. 

Is this a dream 
or waking truth? 

Should I sleep 
forever— 

Or live with 
eyes wide open?

The choice 
is yours— 

So choose 
wisely!

Day Dreaming

day dreaming 
picturesque
scenery created 
within the wounding 
mind's eye 
dreamscape of 
mental illusions 
mind games played 
within the subconscious
generating falsehoods 
passing fairy tales 
of as personal reality 
mental distortion

Premium Member In Darkening Woods

   deeper, deeper plunge
   in darkening woods
   branches fallen
   cross your way
   as you fall
   where once you stood

   sunlight gone
   sounds unnerve
   skin crawling
   while fancies swerve
   like fairy tales
   enthralling

Dreams Delights

The sparks will fly
and often mystify
when dreams
give birth
to words
unspoken

Fairy tales come alive
mixed with nations lore
and the melody
of the two worlds
blend true
 
In dreamers wanderings
one wants not
for the other
as love transends
the journals
of time

Premium Member In Fairy Tales

I open my book as I sit in my cozy little nook. The words I'm reading bring pictures to my mind. Tales come alive! I'm a princess waking to true love's kiss! Aug. 14, 2020 for Eve Roper's Double Tetractys Poetry Contest Picture #2

Do You Know?

Do you know
Love hurts when you don't want it
Your heart breaks more than mends
Life is not like the fairy tales
Do you know
Your eyes reveal all
Your smile hides it
Do you know
History repeats itself
But living in the past
Gives no hope for the future
Do you know

My Perfect Life

Fairy tales don't exist
Is what they tell us as little black girls
We go to school
Listen to mom and dad
Grow up and have a child
Give them everything you have
To feel unappreciated
Only to try your best
For nobody to understand
A perfect life
Just 
Does not
Exist

Premium Member Fairy Tale Maigc 9

Sweet as sugar daisy,
it’s that opening line.
Wild strawberry energy,
it’s that very first couplet.
Fairy tales start with poetry,
a quest for a thousand and one.
The ebb and flow of that journey,
follow along relax and recline 
this is the viridescent princess’s story..

Lies Within Fairy Tales

in the dark,
i hear your name,
wondering blind,
never to be the same,

so many choices,
what to do?
can i just give up,
searching for you

one true love,
hidden behind,
lies and fairytales,
none too kind,

sit here and wait,
scarred and numb,
reflecting past,
feeling dumb.

Premium Member I Believe

I believe children want to do their best.
I believe children want to please us.
I believe brides want to stay in love forever.
I believe grooms want to protect their brides.

I believe in magic.
I believe in fairy tales.
I believe in happily ever after.
I believe I am lucky that I believe.

Hoax

HOAX
Sometimes, love is just bloody hoax
Are you still believe in the fairy tales of the brutal jokes
I can't trust anything less than the greatest challenges of smokes
Let's forget everything before it's too late to suffer the biggest chokes

We Write Fairy Tales

I am not a prince
And princess you don’t have to be.
We need not to live happily ever after.
A touch of anger is allowed to smolder,
Sorts of quarrel will do.

At the end sure come to me,
Take me away
Leave only to love me again,
To fill the pages of our own fairytale.
A new beginning in our own way.

Reality Check

Farewell to dreams
    and fairy tales.
You're all you have
    when all else fails.
Illusions come
    but always end.
Depend on you,
    your one true friend.
Get strong and vow
    to stay on track.
Make life less hard,
    rely on fact.
