Little miss prima donna
No power in her hands
Begging for the life she led
Once Upon a Time so grand

Naked hand with fingers bare
Baubles no longer define
A kingdom filled with memories there
Once Upon a Time divine

An empty spirit weighs her down
Pride now filled with chagrin
Her name no longer is renowned
A Once Upon a Time has-been

Ever a woman of wealth and means
Now lying on the bed she’s made
No tiara for this fairy tale queen
Her Once Upon a Time betrayed

I woke this morning

Grateful for another day

In God’s loving hands

Flowing
Like a rapid river
An urgent need

Seeking

Washing over
Crashing like waves
Upon sandy shores

Finding

The beginning
Of passion’s roar
Two souls as one

Loving

Whispers in the night
The rhythmic breathing of
Two hearts beating
A silence broken
With promises spoken

Whispers in the morn
The quiet slumber of
Two souls intertwining
Bodies both aching
True love awakening

Hidden Behind the Gray

The light stayed away
Hidden behind the grayest of gray
With darkness clouding the sky
All I can do is wonder why
This fear I cannot allay

Sleepily walking to nowhere
Wondering what I will find there
My mind in a daze
Lost in a maze
Glancing at shadows that tear

As they dance in dark, mysterious ways
Losing the hours, day after day
How do they find me
Slinking behind me
With their eerily haunting display

They gather around as they play
I’m filled with uncertain dismay
Staking their claim
They whisper my name
Dragging me back, into the gray
