~Few Fairy Tales Ago...

I should caution you dear sir

my spaces are sealed vault tight

too much heartache all for naught

lay me down on a bed of roses ~

don't expect me to die for you

rush my senses with intensity

my body will respond in kind

don't expect the same in return, 

from my emotions nor my mind~

both expired a few fairy tales ago

Yes, the acres of debris left by insidious fairy tales fracturing our lives and futures. Poor Walt -- I don't think he meant to turn several generations of little girls into breathless Snow Whites waiting for Prince Charming -- but perhaps it was the naivete of the times we grew up in: the ubiquitous TV filling our heads with visions of Ozzie and Harriet type couples, Ward and Betty Cleaver, Dobie Gillis suffering for his beloved blond cheerleader from afar. Oh well, better to have our eyes open walking through this meadow; you can spot the fairy crap before you step in it.

[Frieda P]

Haha you're too funny lady....a fairy crap detector sounds like a good idea though.

[Angel]

I still believe in fairy tales...I still believe in love, and in happiness.
But, as a grown woman, I know it takes work. I know that, in the perfect marriage, the people are lovers part of the time. Part of the time, they are enemies. It's a great relationship if they are friends most of the time. I know that love is not about going to bed with a man...it is about getting up with him in the morning, and facing all that life throws at them...together.
Whoa...guess I'm a bit too deep this morning, huh??

[Frieda P]

Woo, how many cuppas did you consume this morning girlfriend? ha, thanks for that insightful response, I agree with you for the most part, I've learned that dragons can be slain, it just takes two to tango this fairy tale....!

[Angel]

I think it might be lack of sleep, actually...

[Frieda P]

I totally understand that one, I was only teasing you anyway.........

[Angel]

*yawn*...

Wut???

[Frieda P]

Ha go take a nap lady! ;-)

[Angel]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Frieda P]

You should listen to Jack's lullaby, it helps.............

[Angel]

Oh, Sweetie...I'm fighting a rather nasty virus right now. Something I picked up from the grandkids. They just snapped back...but their Granny is one sick little Angel...

[Frieda P]

Oh sorry to hear, those dang kids, I had it too last week from the kids at school, feel better soon my friend....

[Leslie Philibert]

This a contrast to the other poems, and for me, even better, as I like the ironical, sad quality of this.

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much for your gracious review Leslie.

[Ruth]

Oh, this is unique...yes...we have to remember we can be in control don't we? This is more than understanding...it is intelligent conveyance, excellent x

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much Poppy, muchly appreciated xo

[wordwarrior]

Ahh very clever. Yes the more we experience, the more we understand those fairy tales are true(but not the happy ending kind)
Great title and poem Frieda!

[Frieda P]

Maybe just the parts about dragons, thanks wordwarrior!

[Art Sun]

interestingly some would say they have this state of mind...must come from loving...nice work Freida...

[Frieda P]

It must, thanks Art....appreciate you stopping by.

[Art Sun]

yes indeed...

[Michael G. Smith]

I came back here to say you actually kept me wanting more of this to read. It deserves at least two more Stanzas.

[Michael G. Smith]

Am I interpreting this correctly she's willing to have sex but refuses to feel any emotional attachments? Why, maybe this why nothing ever works out. She willing to give away her virtue for free.

[Frieda P]

I'm sure you've seen the movie Pretty Woman, was having a discussion with a friend of mine about what a crock the woile fairy tale ending is....good movie though.

[Michael G. Smith]

This may sound cliché but I too didn't fairy tales existed until I met and married my wife. I am still amazed that love can keep growing. I agree it's a very entertaining movie, but I don't really care for Julia Roberts.

[Frieda P]

It's not a cliche', you should consider yourself very lucky, and who doesn't like Julie Roberts?"!

[Frieda P]

Did you change your review or am I losing my mind?

[Michael G. Smith]

Yeah hehe, I started contemplating the poem after I left the page and did a double take. See how provocative it was?

[Michael G. Smith]

she has a horse face.

[Frieda P]

What does that have to do with the price of coffee?

[Michael G. Smith]

My other comment failed to post that said it distracts from her acting.

[Michael G. Smith]

is it me or do have trouble with lag on this site?

[Frieda P]

It's not you, it's like slugs moving through molasses around here...

[Frieda P]

...and wow, if you think Julia Roberts looks like a horse, what chance do the rest of us peons have? ...Sheesh.

[Michael G. Smith]

Apples and oranges. Watching some one for two hours on screen. It's the nature of the business, baby...lol.

[Michael G. Smith]

you notice they allow ugly male actors? look at Robert deNero.

[Frieda P]

Hahah you didn't really just call me baby....ha

[Frieda P]

Are you kidding, Bob is gorgeous.....you're off your rocker Mikey!

[Michael G. Smith]

Oh, that's right he's Italian, I forgot. What's this bob business?

[Michael G. Smith]

Mikey? I can count one hand the people that have called me that in my life time. hey, lets get mikey yeah, eats everything.

[Frieda P]

Has nothing to do with him being Italian, he's a great actor and most women swoon over him, he told me I could call him Bob, don't you know all us Italians know each other ;-)

[Dye]

What? no happily ever after. Pfft! I should caution you...I've been drinking. LOL

I do like this write, Fairytales are overrated anyway......all that lemon drop, lollipop stuff and all.

[Frieda P]

What, you don't believe in Cinderfookinrella either?

[Dye]

That story made no sense..... seriously, if that shoe fit so perfect-- then why did it fall off? just sayin' lol

[Trace]

It seems that's the way it goes sometimes, huh?

[Frieda P]

Exactly....thanks Trace. You're home for 4 days now?

[Trace]

I wish. I am working a bunch of overtime. Back to work today for five days in the mine. But then l will have four off. Catch up with u soon. Huggs. T

[Rita L. Sev]

Fairy tales fool us into believing that ever after is always a happy endeavor... ad when the truth sinks in; this piece has the beauty of the roses, and the sting of the thorns...

[Frieda P]

Thanks Rita, so aptly put....
