Once upon so long ago, <br />when life was simple, <br />when love truely was <br />just love. <br />So far away, into the night, <br />I lost myself <br />in you. <br />In trees so dense the light fades <br />I wandered, blindly, <br />searching heavens eyes <br />for your voice. <br />Dreams whisper eternity <br />but my heart stays closed, <br />my eyes remain open, <br />my soul burnt. <br />Through darkness of desire <br />I wandered, wondering- <br />is this how we must live <br />when love rules our minds. <br />Fairytales of supposed truth <br />echo in my head. <br />Why are the lies <br />easier to accept? <br />Upon your eyes I finally arrive, <br />search their green sea, <br />swim into their darkness, <br />walk through the trees, <br />I hear you calling- <br />calling me. <br /> <br />'27/4/08'<br /><br />Viola Grey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/this-fairytale/
