She dreamt of the day he’d be lovingly subline.
The day he’d snuggle her forever in time.
With nostrils flaring amidst the sweet winds blowing
She came to see him as the mostly inspiring
Thoughts sold to star in a poorly timed rhyme.
Then, the dragons crept in twilighted solitudes
Bringing insulted pumpkin sized attitudes
Who openly carried in the days of no turmoil
Up or down, setting random emotions to boil
Flagging the losses of that scary timed rhyme.
Sky blue eyes smiling regardless of sunny days was the dream
But those gray lined rims only meant saddened cloudy ways
When no one knew what to do with the shrouded boy
Whose mother had withered away like a forgotten toy
Having bought into some strange furied filled rhyme.
Then, she dreamt away of a day he’d just go awry
When nothing could be done or said more than oh my
The hearts broken in shambles left blackened and blue
Weren’t a part of the who, the woo or the two
Forevermore scattered amidst this crazy rhyme.
There were no shining knights strong enough to win
There were no godmothers clever enough to cover the sin
Or to pick up the drowning girl’s soiled furl
She was left trying to hang onto any scarred viable burl
Broken and tossed back into the old badgered hungry rhyme.
While it could have been so plainly easy and profound.
For all of the crying silently aloud nothing bound
The day that grew up taking the sun far away forever
Nothing remained to keep the love remotely tethered
To that deadly change of the deserted and betrayed rhyme.
That had set the stage for their retreat into the wild
Plastered in collages no longer intertwined
Where hair once flowed in lovely brown and red
Rising again in with the peppered heartier dragon head
Last seen tossing a reasoned pen for a poorly seasoned rhyme.
Where the dragons quickly beat the knights in glaring glory
Who felled all the godmothers in every tale and story
Whose own children fled in bloodied morbid rage
Only to be left flailing on their own from the daily haunted stage
Muttering lonely wails found nowhere in any mother’s rhyme.
