I knew It's not a Fairytale

by jessel jane   Aug 15, 2006


I heard a tale from a fair maiden;
that happened long ago.
My mind was disturbed; my heart-- shaken;
just after i heard it so.

It spoke of endless love therein...
of a goddess to a man.
Of how a love is truly seen
to be better in any land.

That from sullen earth to heavens...
hearts just knew where they belong.
From outer space to deepest oceans;
must a goddess know her song.

It spoke how tragic it briefly ends;
and the death of mortal man.
Of how the goddess have to mend
her heart... with him is gone.

My heart was struck;felt deep sensations
I didnt know existed before.
I saw in dreams... in vague visions
and could have known much more.

I knew it's not a fairytale...
my heart has said it so.
I knew inside I cannot fail
I lived so long ago.

I recall I had said before
my love would be eternal.
Even death I do not fear...
for love must conquer all.

And now I live to love you more
and long for everyday.
I'd search for you just like before...
in the most enchanting way.

I maybe lived so many lives
and each had made a tale.
I heard it and i lived with it...
it's not just a fairytale.

    This is a wonderfully written piece. The first piece I have read of yours and now I am intrigued. I have some suggestions if you so wish to hear:

    3rd stanza, 4th line... Should that not be "know" instead of "knew"?

    5th stanza, 1st line... "My heart was struck" not "strucked" 2nd line... "I didn't know existed..."

    6th stanza, 1st and 3rd line... Again, "know" not "knew"?

    7th stanza, 1st line... I suggest changing this line a little. Something like "I recall what I had said before"??

    8th stanza, 4th line... perhaps add "the"... "In the most enchanting way."

    I hope you don't find my critique in anyway offending. This is a magnificent piece which I enjoyed reading. I shall eagerly read your other work now.
