Fairy Tale, V.2: d'Verse Poetics Offering

 

Once upon a yesteryear

I believed in fairy-tales…

Prince Charming came

slaying dragons

wakening, writhing,

dancing in tempo

to rhythmic beat; 

a troubled heart

pound, pound, pounding…

truth

drown, drown, drowning

‘neath blood spilt

through pierced flesh;

sword’s tainted tip

eventually exposing
Prince’s flaws...

defeated, he left

once upon a yesteryear

I believed in fairy-tales…
