I Am Not A Fairy Tale I am weakened by each breath I take, the uncertainty in the air filling me to capacity. I pause momentarily, to rest belaboring this rhythm, the flow blocked at times by the pulsating of thoughts. The throbbing reaches inward, grasping a lonely heart as I try to analyze the state I am in. I am susceptible to your every movement, exhausted by your capture, sensitive to your stimulation, unbalanced by your every touch. Tinged by each stroke of your hand, I am warmed in the color blush, as you strike a chord within me. A twist of fate, to bind me to the fabric of you. I am marginal, able only to demonstrate the dances of my past, a life failed, revealing a part of me, a glimpse into the sheerness of a soul to be scrutinized, perused, by eyes expecting more; perhaps a fantasy. I am not a fairy tale or a mind's eye creativity. I am a rainbow in disguise. Colored by life, shaded by my displays of emotion, held up to your view, exposing when necessary my arc, each bend, each curvature that flexes, trying to meet you halfway. ~Wynter "The worst prison would be a closed heart". ...Pope John Paul II [This message has been edited by nakdthoughts (edited 10-06-2001).] |

Excellent write, But, Although you might not be a fairy tale, I believe some of the rest of us are. Enjoyed the descriptive phrases. Gloom |

Absolutely beautiful. "I am a rainbow in disguise. Colored by life, shaded by my displays of emotion, held up to your view, exposing when necessary my arc, each bend, each curvature that flexes, trying to meet you halfway." That's a lot further than many are willing to reach. You are an honest and open heart, and it is comforting to read words like this today. Thanks. |

An impactful write, Wynter. I feel that when one realizes the following passage: I am marginal, able only to demonstrate the dances of my past, a life failed, revealing a part of me, a glimpse into the sheerness of a soul to be scrutinized, perused, by eyes expecting more; perhaps a fantasy. ...it's time to reassess one's thresholds of tolerance and reanalyze one's motives, for no one should be a fantasy, or rather -- a set of expectations, if they choose not to be... -MVS "Learn to let go of fear, doubt, and disbelief..." --THE MATRIX |

The title itslef is capturing; your character has a spark inside that demands appearance, and your desription is visually magnetic. I believed in a princess held captive in her role, and yet, she tore herself from the fabrication. Wonderful. ![]() |

"A twist of fate, to bind me to the fabric of you." A completely pleasurable read. |
