All I ever wanted was everything:

the white knight, the big castle, the candy-coated kingdom,

the splendid gesture riding in on the great white horse.

And then he came...militantly chivalrous,

full of romance & honey-covered words

sweeping me off my feet with the force

of his pertinacious declarations of love.

Entranced, I surrendered as much to the visions in my head

as to the dark knight who came for me...

At times I live in Dreams,

when Reality is the Nightmare

from which I would run screaming,

if I were but to open my eyes.

For unlike Dreams,

which, at times, mind & will can alter...

Reality continues stubbornly to BE

against all wishes to the contrary...

Dreams crumble in its face

and I awake in tears.
