Fairy Tales
by Alisa Jscould we have lassoed those raindrops with palms raised up high
as we blazed through with potions
full of reckless abandon
oblivious,
even to ourselves.
so certain we'd found that decadent delight
a cruel game, if that
and only for the well besotted
don't venture near if your heart's not yielded
toward lies and deceit from the other side,
yet it was not the other side that did us in
but rather a lingering memory,
climbing up that old woody nightshade
when no one was looking
when somebody cared,
back to a time when I used to believe
in certain fairy tales
so beholden was I to that dream ... 11/13/2008 Posted on 11/14/2008
