Lonely Thoughts

disney (a.k.a. crush 6)

it is 2 o'clock in the morning, 

(the witching hour)

and i have abandoned my blankets for fireflies.

crept to the edge of my dewy lawn, 

peered around the bushes in the back,

and stared, open-mouthed,

wondering how the moon can look 

like a sticker

i could peel from the starry sky.

even here,

i see his smile in constellations.

imagine lace dresses and tap-dance feet

a red satin cape and chocolate coin eyes,

i imagine us ballroom dancing

like a pair of fools in a Disney script.

so i dream up a prince.

my lover is tall

and charming,

with marble hands;

has royal manners-

presses pretty pink lips to my peasant palms.

and i know the way

briar rose

and snow white

and rapunzel

and cinderella

and ariel and jasmine and belle all knew

how very much in love we are

and oh,

what we could be,

if fairy tales came true.
