A Prince Or Frog

somedays you start to wonder

  

Thoughts begin to dwell

Of past spells that poisoned

A heart like an apple

Down to the core.

 

Love potions that tasted

So sweet in the beginning

Now leave a bitter after taste

Making it hard to swallow

The juices of a fruit

That may really be pure.

 

Instead getting drunk on shots

Of one hundred proof lust

Draining the heart on any magic

It may still have remaining.

 

Reversal of fortunes

From a fairytale to reality land

For it is the prince needing saving

Before the moot around his castle

Becomes to large to cross.

 

It seems though that every princess

Is being held captive by a troll.

 This prince begins to wonder

If he is really a frog

Or are happy endings

Only for the imaginations

Of the young.

and I wish life was a fairytale...
my favorite line "A heart like an apple, Down to the core."
Wonderful.

I think it just depends on how you choose to define your happy ending ;)

woe, I hear you loud and clear...I always wonderd if maybe not so much a frog but a slave to the imagination of another...You on your trusty steed in your suit of armor while sitting on the lily pad...

Great poem and a great idea. Personally, I think some women like a few warts. It adds some character to their prince. I really like this one. As a woman I always hear about my women friends looking for the right one, but men are looking just as hard. Wonderful poem.

What an intriquing concept. Thoughtful and touching. Thank you for sharing your talent.

Wow.. I have lots I could say about this one.. I am certain that many guys out there feel this (probably about half even in relationships).. however I agree with alot of what Anastasia had to say.. I am a dreamer.. but do not honestly believe in fairy tales.. lol.. how could this be??? Well I believe in a dream of making reality a better place.. a dream of the world finding solutions to so many issues that many are working on.. this is reality and the dream of many!! It is a balance of both worlds.. using imagination but in the real world.. not being fooled into that fairy tale ending as love is work.. life is work.. even the best dreamers or fantasizers wake up and realize this.. You can still fantasize about happy endings but in reality life and love cause pain.. we must find balance.. not set standards, dreams or goals too high as this can interfere with everyday life and happiness!!! I find joy in simple things.. family.. friends.. this comes with the acceptance of faults and sometimes issues.. this unfortunately is part of life! May you find that partner that you can escape and dream with.. in the best and worst of times and in dreams and reality!!! Always love your writing.. nice to know some guys have fantasy dreams!
