The Beast may have mellowed with age and his spots now hidden by grey,
but his wild nature doesn’t change and spots though hidden remain.


The Prince of Toads is a true Prince indeed,
but the reality is, still a toad he remains.
 

The Prince still has his castle tis true.
But the would be Queen doesn’t seem to see,
That the shining castle by the side of the sea
Has always and only been made of sand.

Great writing...you are so talented.

[darknessdance]

Thank you, but actually I wrote them because I was pissed at someone.

I love this! The imagery and the very thought behind it are both enchanting and thought-provoking at the same time.

[darknessdance]

Wasn't actually trying to to be enchanting or thought-provoking. They are all three about an old boyfriend and the fact he isn't going to change being the Prince of Toads even though his latest girlfrind thinks she is going to be his queen. He thought they were funny. She of couse didn't get it at all...

Well if she refuses to see, then she never will until he moves on to someone else.
I can see him chuckling at these and then laughing because she's sitting with that blank "I don't get it" look.
Wanting to believe you've found prince charming is one thing, being a blind fool about it is a bit too much. Besides, the only reason the fairy tale princes were perfect was because they were written that way- and there's a reason it's called fiction! :-)

She is doing what they all do, where as I know he treats woman like tires, he always has a spare on the side. He banned her from his facebook page for starting with me on his page.

And all faery tales started with a base of truth far back in history and the org tails had really bad endings. The mondern world cleaned them up. In the little mermaid she not only lost the Prince but she died and became seafoam.

Well it's her own fault. And with anyone (male or female) who seems to be that determined to be a free spirit, the more you try to hold them, the faster they move away. Sounds like tying him down would be as efffective as trying to tie our cousin down to just one person... it's just not physically possible!

I wonder how many marriages would have been saved if the originals had been left alone and people hadn't been blinded by the "happily ever after" versions that say everything should be love at first sight, perfect ending, etc. It sets a standard that can't possibly exist.

I read the oldest versions of faery tales I can find, and some of them are down right grusome. Way to nasty for the tender feelings of the present PC people to deal with. I don't know who started the happy ever after stuff but it was never the point of faery tales untill the last centry.
