Entry: Faerie Tales (poem) Sunday, January 23, 2005



I looked out the window

And behold! My prince

But I’m only his princess

When I sleep, in my dreams

 

I dream that we dance together

To the sound of love songs until twelve

But when I wake up we’re just strangers

Nothing’s done and nothing’s said

 

We’ll live happily ever after

In our kingdom faraway

But dream castles aren’t forever

They’re just moments inside my head

 

Yes, I could eat a hundred apples

Or sing a thousand songs

Or prick myself with lots of needles

Anything to make you fall

 

But fairy godmothers aren’t real

Neither are dwarves, ruby shoes, or evil queens

So, I’m left here staring and dreaming, wondrin’

What would Cinderella do if she was in my shoe?
