Fairytale

 

The pulsing, blurring light

in the distance,

like far away stars,

or embers

of a fading dream.

We welcomed you in.

A fairytale of our creation.

A red hooded fiction,

twisting

and morphing

into our world of never were's,

could be's, would be's,

dripping molten liquid thoughts

into our warping vision of reality.

 

We felt the growing elation,

the tides of an ocean,

pulling and pushing

deep into our emotions,

like Goldilocks had entered

our unlocked minds,

pulled up a seat,

decided it wasn't the right size,

and rummaged through

until she found the right fit.

Then devoured our emotional feast.

A fairytale of our own imagining,

but who is the beast?

And what are they dining on?

 

Fireflies of fleeting fantasy,

flip past my eyes,

like lanes of traffic

darting through future skies.

I sit, reminisce for a bit

about where I've been

and who I was,

where I'm going

and at what cost.

Some would say

let your hair down mate,

but Rapunzel shows

this doesn't always lead

to a happy fate.

So, I'll sit in my lonesome tower

and wait.

Who knows in this fairytale world,

anything goes,

maybe a princess will kiss her frog.

All I know is that the future will glow.
