Sleeping Beauty

She waited for a miracle
She got a toad
She kissed him deep
He stayed a toad

She waited for a miracle
She got a frog
She kissed him true
He enjoyed the snog

She waited for a miracle
She got a boy
She kissed him quick
He called her toy

She waited for a miracle
She got him
She kissed him long
He fulfilled his dream

She waited for a miracle
She waited and got bored
Prince charming came along
And she deeply snored...

Shopper's Stop

He stopped by everyday
Looking and choosing and trying
He religiously came every day
Window shopping, never buying

A little sleeve torn
A zipper broken
A frill unlaced
A button taken

He picked the same one everyday
Feeling and holding and playing
He held it close everyday
Seeing it, never buying

A tear rolled
A smile faked
A pain endured
A love paid

She stood silently everyday
Kissing and loving and smiling
She cursed her life everyday
Shopper's Stop, No Buying

Smile Today

You smile through your tears
You smile to allay someone's fears
You smile and keep smiling through
For smiling gives your heart a hope new...

She

He visited her every night
He ravaged her body, lusted after her soul
He came every night
Came to her calling another's name
He stayed every night
Disappearing as the brightest star arose
He forgot pain every night
Forgetting to call out goodbye as he left...


She waited every night
Waited for him to call her name
She loved every night
Loved his broken soul with her heart
She soothed him every night
Staying awake silently crying his name
She forgot herself every night
Forgetting herself she lived for his smile...


Demands he made
Wishes she fulfilled
Pain he shed
Her shoulders stooped
Every drop he spilled
Her eyes burned
He smiled
She slept...
