The last rays of sunshine disappear
as the dark clouds interweave,
The show ends, and the crowd leaves,
Left behind were dashed hopes and
unfulfilled dreams scattered on the
ground,
Next to the exit door was this unfulfilled
dream, unwrapped and unbound.
An unchivalrous Knight abandons his
Lady Love, breaking his promise,
severing their bond,
Searching high and low, he was nowhere
to be seen and nowhere to be found,
He left behind a once cheerfully bright
soul, like a Spring Blossom, in a sea of
tears drifting far and wide.
Her shattered heart helplessly looks
on as memories slip like sand
through fingers,
And while feelings of betrayal and
abandonment still lingers,
In the garden of her heart where love
once lived, silence blooms,
Her body, painful and lifeless, cries
out in agony from grief and sadness
that looms.
Seeking solace, she looks for a way
to escape and a place to hide,
Finding none, her heart cries silently
knowing she must endure and muster
the courage to take the next stride.

An un-fairie queene
from an unchivalrous tale
lumping and clumping
off beaten tracks
down beaten ones
so beaten
that they click and crack
criss-crossed with crabgrass
so tall that it looks
like some fiendish crag
it crassly sticks to soles
and copiously
feasts on clothes
not only that
there are the pools
mighty, classy and cool
clamouring loud and clear
to be given their due
for they are
the sole claim to fame
of those grumpy roads
they welcome cars
with their clip-clop
and lure them to splosh
to splash the passers-by
Then comes that tired
un-fairie queene
holding a ray of hope
clinging to it
lest it slip and fall
and though dim it is
she still believes
it can bring some light
and touch some souls
That’s what she has
her feet of clay
but come what may
she will forever
have faith
in her fairy ray.
