Drifting.....

              "I used to be Snow White, but then I drifted."

I KNOW.....  I promised snappy and happy.  I give myself a one blog moratorium.  Stupid milestones.  They can be fucking heavy.

It's a chick thing.  The birthday ball hit the same week as October 30th- a whole year since the official clock struck midnight.  A WHOLE year.  It means nothing and everything.  It's just the date of the last date.

The next day I played a Princess

Filled with joy

The clock stopped at midnight

I still had shoes on, so I did not know

Twice he came to me

Wishful strong dreams

I think that wasn't real

Maybe it was the mythical closure dragon

He bites

Realizing the forest I roamed

tumbles to desert and rock

to violent serene below

This place I know

Gathering my metaphorical tail and wits

And shells for my bits

The airwaves brought a song and rhyme

from past circles that lead to this season in time

Salty stinging ouch!

Well, maybe for a second

Okay, a day or two

Fuck!

An honest forever

Stupid Fairy Tales

Water is the place I choose

Will I be a siren to seduce

Or a mermaid who is free?

I'll mind my OWN sea

Swimming out and drifting

The curse is looking back

And seeing he's not there.

The happy ending

(Dang! I never got to finish that)

Is a heart that heals itself.
