Unhappily Ever After

This cold frost-bitten heart was warm long ago

When love had blossomed in romance so young

Broken and banished to the darkness forever

With hope of being rescued by a princess true

Plagued was the heart of the princess he loved

Poisoned by the spirits that echoed in her ear

Blinded by an invisible lust that never existed

Created in her heart and mind by demons of hate

Long ago this prince was destined for happiness

In a kingdom he would reign with his pure heart

He fell victim to the evil brewing in his bed

When he turned a blind eye to the pain he felt

Her intentions were good but possessed by the bad

She could not see how much her prince had cared

His love was for her and she could not feel it

For her heart was numb and cursed with jealousy

The tale of a prince with a witch for a princess

A story where love did not rise and was defeated

Happy endings are only told in old fairy tales

But this book of stories tell of tales so true

The Colors Of Life

Blue is the sadness dwelled inside,

A troubled soul that has been denied,

Of love and friendship in this world,

When hate and envy are unfurled.

Grey is the color of the falling rain,

Weeping with insanity that was never explained.

It's the mourning and the sadness formed inside,

Our worried selves, filled with pride.

Black is as deep as emotions can go,

Revealing everything it can possibly show.

This is when we all break down,

And in our emotions we seem to drown.

Yellow is the happiness we all possess,

That allows us laughter we can all express.

Through all our times of sadness and woe,

Yellow is the color we all need to know.

Colors are rather precisely unique,

All containing their own physique.

But in order to live every day of our lives,

We've got to make sure every color survives.
