Fairy Tales

It was a cloudy day shifting towards rain

The weatherman said on news radio

As I saw the Sun still brilliant in her eyes

From making love in a field of flowers the day before

And kissed her slow and passionately as she hastened to leave

Whispering in my ear before she closed the door

"There are plenty of fairy tales left in Hell."

She smiled before goodbye and I laughed like a fool

Before the moment of realization came with the tears

Like a wicked slap across the face from a demon

Or the sense that you will never again see the one you love.

And like clockwork I drove away

As the rain began to fall while the radio blabbered on

All I could see was the light in her gaze

Like a high beam on the road

Thinking of Hellish fairy tales

That would never be

In this world

Perhaps.
