A Broken Fairytale

Lavender scents the air

bringing memories

of a honey colored sky

smiling down upon us

as we lay entwined

on a blanket of moss.

I can still see the red wildflowers

blooming in a lover’s bouquet

at our feet.

Enchantment so perfect in its innocence

hypnotized us with forever.

Years have torn their way

across the universe leaving

 jagged scars.

The music of our heartbeats

remains as a bittersweet

song in my spirit.

I remember the beautiful days

of fairytale romance,

 but now live the reality

of its unhappy ending.
