When I was a child I firmly believed
That tooth fairies did take my teeth,
I would carefully raise my pillow
And place them gently underneath.
***
I also believed way back then
That Peter Pan and Wendy could fly,
Then once a year if I’d been good
Santa Claus would glide across the sky.
***
But my most magical fairytale
Began one April starry night,
My imaginary Prince come to life
And met his own Snow White.
***
My life was dull and sleepy
But with your kisses I awoke,
You lavished me with words of love
And I believed every word you spoke.
***
As you can see I still believed in fairytales
Believed in dreams and happy endings,
I was sure I’d find my very own Prince
Only to find that he was pretending.
***
Cheating and conniving minds can seem
Believable and honest behind loving eyes,
If I had only learnt way back then
That fairytales are the ultimate lies.

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
