Morning
Slowly and gently above trees and mist,
Heaven’s dew drops
A soft angel kiss.
The tears on my window, shelter from pain
This heartache, this madness,
This one lovely stain.
By day break, a bird’s song wakes up the world,
It’s haunting, it’s thrilling,
With heart beat unfurled.
The dawn is rising, and sleep dissipates,
Enchanted one
Rising, blinking awakes.

Happily Ever After?
My eyes begin to wonder at the sight;
The pictures are enough to cause a fright,
Of fairy tales and witches, cinder soot.
Stepmother in the mirror takes a look,
At her rival Snow White’s horrid plight.
Gorgeous gowns are ripped as in a fight,
An orphaned girl stands hovered in a nook.
Mermaids walk on land, and fishes sing;
Petals from a rose predict a fate;
Animals talk and dance in merry glee.
In battle pirate swords do swing;
A spinning wheel embodies someone’s hate,
And true love is released but for a fee.
Unexpected Love
Your very name awakens such despair,
That longing for your love just breeds a tear.
I guess it’s something only dreamers do.
At first your friendship only got me through,
Now your eyes on mine shake me with fear.
I know I act as if I couldn’t care,
It’s just because this heartache’s so brand new.
I hope against all hope that you might feel
A little of what grips my heart each day,
That you beside me is my only wish.
Days are short, so time we both must steal.
If ever needless doubts get in your way
Dispel them all with but a simple kiss.
