Once in a land of faraway a little lonely princess played. She learned to dream quite early on because her Dad, the King, was gone. She often looked out o'er the cliffs and held her breath while making wish. Please bring a special prince to be the love she craved to set her free. And as she grew, she felt the need increase within her, she would bleed, while sighing vainly for this man Sure he would come and understand. Then came the day he crossed the moat and carried her through gates of hope. She blessed her luck and thanked the Gods for she had waited very long. She thought her loneliness was done and he was true, the only one. Imagine her surprise indeed when off he rode upon his steed. Goodbye he said, it wasn't real I'm sorry for the way you feel. She gazed at him in disbelief and fell to ground beneath his feet. She cried so much she might have died instead, she stood and screamed out WHY She thought her life was over now but then she made a special vow.. She found his secret hideaway and late one night while he did play she waited for him as before and shouted at him NEVERMORE She took his sword and ran him through for there was nothing else to do and left him in the dirt that day to find a true Prince who would stay.

Oh yes I know that it feels like someone has thrust a sword into your heart when heartbreaks come...let us hope the next time that it is a brave knight ready to take on the dragon of an enduring relationship...James |

Congratulations, Sandra. That's a lot of posting! and when that prince finally shows up, make sure the sword is out of sight, and out of mind. Hehe... just in case. |

Sandra, the beginning of this was the charming and enchanting style that you do so beautifully. But I'm sorry, I just loved the end part where you ram him with the sword. It's so unexpected....and so "right" somehow!!! And yes, the right Prince will be along. Just keep your head up...you'll see him. ![]() ![]() If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? [This message has been edited by Tracey (edited 10-29-2001).] |

The Princess seems to be learning to be a Queen with this vengeful verse and Queens need no prince to rule. Congratulations on this milestone and the severing of the chains of a millstone. "Happy people have no history" - French Proverb |

Congratulations lil sis!!!!!!! Oh, yes......this Princess did have reason to retaliate, as fairy tales are supposed to end in 'Happily Ever After'!! But maybe the Princess will, in real life, find that Prince who will be everything that she ever dreamed of........it does happen......I know! ![]() The road goes on forever, and the stories never end... |
