Fairy Tales


In lands ago and times away
we spent our youths,
swimming the same waters.
in compressed time,
we traveled trails together.
these paths were once easily traversed,
but today they are overrun with
the overgrowth of loneliness, despair,
mingled with love and desire,
and stress and suffering
but for what and whom.
I once traveled that magical road which brought me to you
a road that elated my heart as it neared you  
but now that road is no longer the way,
and where you are now is fraught with dragons and demons
most days now I am under a necromancer's spell
that robs me of clear logic
but sometimes .... reality finds it's way in
and unlike the fables I grew up with
where the words
happily ever after
are the last entry
I just know
deep inside
that my fairy tale will end
with steel chains holding me,
a prisoner vanquished
my heart ripped out,
evermore.
