Humpty Dumpty Complex

No prince has climbed my walls
to save disquieted dreams
from inevitable ending
that pushes me off the shelf.

I fall to crack in half
with no love to glue me back together again.
But, I leave myself disjoined
so no one will ever break my heart.
It's safer that way,
lonely sometimes,
but safe.

I pour the puzzle pieces of me
back in the box of no guarantee,
close the lid
and let Cupid shake
a coffin full of scabs and scars.

By Melissa Long-Monette

Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world!

With thoughts of a once-here but now prepossessed princess who became a little chipmunk, and who used to roam these pages....

Don't settle for a "prince" ... find a king among men cause lady, you deserve to be treated like a queen.

Dear Honeybee, I enjoyed this work of yours, sad but very creative, I hope that life for you is better than this, take care my friend, again enjoyed.


Your walls were just too high
without your words of love
I watched you stand to fall
and fly as if a dove

Your body broke from sorrow
you heart though strong did hide
I watched despair come take you
with no hand there to guide

Your pieces I collected
and tried to make you whole
I prayed for cupids arrow
to free your heart and soul

Sincerely
Rick

Melissa,
All I can say is that you're one good looking coffin full of scabs and scars.
Be happy dear life is so short.

Damn, more fairy tales gone wrong! Did you know I pass all your poems on to my lost princess friend? We identify all too well.
