Fairy Tale Endings?

Stephank Poems

. *What ever happened to fairy tale endings When did the sun bring the cold winter chill Why are kind gesturers an act of pretending How did our heartbeats become ever still Where is the joy that we found ourselves sharing Happiness falling on much darker days Meadows of flowers now weeds never caring Blue skies are hidden behind sorrowed haze Dreams slowly scattered on desolate oceans Washed up on shore as the sandcastles die Tossed overboard with the weakest emotions Salt coated tears the horizon does cry Once perfect mornings now afternoon weary Gazing on edges cut sharp by the storm Forecasts are sent in a poem that’s dreary Standing afraid as the thunderclouds form Hiding our eyes behind last April’s fashion No cotton fabric for sale on the rack Finding that drab is our lone source of passion Marked down for clearance way out in the back When did we give up on promises pending Taking a place after push comes to shove What ever happened to fairy tale endings What ever happened to forever love*
