~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.

[MikeV]

Brutal write, i think let love in
its better to have loved and lost
then to have never loved at all

[Frieda P]

Oh shut up Mikey ;-P

I've tried this kind of thing but my heart is stronger than my will. BTW: love Adrian Brody.

[Frieda P]

Oh me too, he's a talented genius, thanks Pryde.

Someday I think I will do a study on the writers of these fairy tales, what their lives were like, how they handle whatever stress followed them, how, even in the face of not everything going exactly right, they still managed to write these happy endings. I can only assume these tales are misleading and I suppose should be banned, so that we are not lulled into believing that happiness can happen. Or is it possible that it is hard to understand the fairy tale ending if you haven't got to that end of that book yet...even Cinderella had to face to adversity and trying times before the happy ending. Perhaps the next chapter will bring this to fruition.

Very sad my sweet friend, but very well done and ever inspiring...for I know the happy ending is out there and I know that these things can come true.

[Frieda P]

Let me know when you've completed your study, I'm curiouser and curiouser...funny you should bring up cinderfookinrella, that's what prompted this one, thanks Jack!

[Jack...]

I was going to use Sleeping Beauty but you don't sleep that much. You amaze me

[TL Boehm]

this one tugged on my squishy pollyanna heart. - the physical body may respond but it doesn't mean the heart is engaged - and that's the saddest death I suppose. Only so many times we can be burned before we can't scrape off the char to feel anything. This one got me.

[Frieda P]

Squishy heart, herein lies the problem, perhaps hearts should be made of titanium but then that would leave all the good stuff out too, no easy answers as usual, thanks Tam.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

It only takes one heartbreak to make you realize fairytales don't exist.
Some pretty powerful and creative stuff.

[Frieda P]

Thanks Taz, I know you know this one too...........x

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Yes quite well.

[Misery]

A heartbreakingly beautiful poem.
All the fairy tales that fell away with our adolescent years. So sad to be all grown up in a world that sucks the pulp from innocence and leaves the husk to rot. Would that I could write one last and lasting fairy tale for you, dear poet.

[Frieda P]

Ah if only we could pen our own destiny, there'd be a lot more poets in this world, thanks so much for your sweet thoughts Misery.

Some men's expectations are high and vice versa but when they are hit with the truth they feel like the other side has lied or cheated them but they were the ones who misunderstood the situation from the beginning. Like a traveler to a foreign country who have heard but not seen the wonderous things about that country . If they are up to their expectation all is well and if not they will gripe and complain about it ...Bravo...

[Frieda P]

Sounds like you've been here Sami, thanks for your insightful review my friend....

[Sami Khalil]

Hahaha. A traveler yes...lol
You are welcome...:)

[Frieda P]

Ha Traveling Man, yeah I know that tune. ;-)

[Sami Khalil]

Hahaha...On to Italy now...Just kidding....:)

[Frieda P]

Oh I wish....I'd be there in a heartbeat.

[Sami Khalil]

Hahaha...:)

[Emerald Seas]

Wow, I like the dark twist. Last stanza is killer!

[Frieda P]

Grazie Sirrah, you know how that dark side leaks out on its own.............

[Emerald Seas]

Yes, i know.... ;-)

[Aethereal]

As we grow older our dashed hopes and dreams cause our expectations to degrade to such an extent that all that matters is the intensity of a drink, a band, and a one night stand. All those golden childhood fairy tales turn to clay, fade away.

[Frieda P]

Nice rhyming response Aethereal, thanks....

[Aethereal]

You're welcome! I see such people out on the town every Friday night.

[Dr. Wood ?]
