[hometext] => an ironic twist on the classic fairy tale. it has a double meaning. i'm my own worst critic and even i enjoyed it.
[bodytext] => sleeping beauty forever dozing destined to wake to joy, supposing the right prince comes along lying, trapped within a dream careless in sleep, so it would seem but inside she cries, praying for release hopefully, if all goes well she'll be rescued from this hell by her knight in shining armor her valiant prince, with lips of silk in her dream (nightmare) she's married to a blue collar, white trash slob who doesn't appreciate her and beats her 'cuz he hates his job as she does the dishes in their financed single wide she silently cries, as she so often does o'er some long forgotten loss inside so long inside those tower walls postponed memories atrophy resigned to her new life of tears she forgets the sleeping beauty she used to be years of abuse take their toll denied the fairy tale life lived by some her husband is cheating, the kids all left home only alcohol can bring the numb her beauty wilts, unmourned by eyes other than her own crow-footed orbs and dreams of death steal in with ease promising an end, promising peace as the depression deepens it slowly drives her mad and our sweet sleeping beauty makes the only choice she ever had in the bathroom of their trailer sleeping pills bring her sweet suicide seconds before the long awaited kiss that would have brought her back to life [comments] => 4 [counter] => 192 [topic] => 13 [informant] => Cancer [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
