on the horizon of a fairytale

0 posted 2001-11-26 12:56 PM



There you sit, in an old wooden
chair. You know the one, like an
old friend, it’s familiar  creaking
keeps you company.

Through your pen, crimson tears
spill from your heart, in search of
the gentle dabbing from a cloth
held in a loving hand.

Looking out the window
you’ve turned away from the tears
wept onto fine linen stationary,
wondering…..

“Has my heart become a stranger to
me, having lost it to her?”

Look beyond the windowpane, beyond
the pain. New hopes lie in the colours
of seasonal change, and as dreams swirl
in winter’s bluster, know your heart
will always be known to mine.

Love…..


ever deep...runs
the wishing well
for fairytale illusions

Yes, what Sunshine said.  You've penned it, now send it

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

The play on words in the title captured me immediately. I love to play that way.

Good job.

Everyone,
Thank you. I am so happy this was enjoyed.
And yes, I did send it as a letter, thanks for the support.  Snail mail...just seems more meaningful that way.

It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul."

I'm betting the recipient of this letter will be deeply touched. It is beautiful

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

I loved the way you referenced "pains" in your title and brought the relevance to it within your verse.  Wonderful writing and full of deep emotion.  The flow was very smooth and the moments were easily captured in your words.
