"And we loved with a love that was more than love..."

Love like a Princess

By Amelia Rose

For My Prince Charming

If Cinderella, in old age could remember

Those times of her young love’s bliss

She wouldn’t know what I know now

The bliss of my true love’s kiss

If Aladdin’s lover felt a charmed wind

On her magic carpet ride

She wouldn’t know the enchantment I knew

In your arms, in our youth, as your bride

If Snow White felt joy from her motherly role

Among her seven little dears

She wouldn’t know the love I’ve discovered

As mother to your children, these years

If the Little Mermaid defied waves of dissent

Made by her kingdom in the sea

She wouldn’t know how fiercely I’d fight

If someone tried to take you from me

If Sleeping Beauty in guarded duty

Could wake from her waking dreams

She wouldn’t know fiction from truth

But my reality is just as it seems

If the Beauty who tamed the ferocious Beast

Knew to weather the storms of life

She wouldn’t understand the wisdom I’ve learned

And the love that I know as your wife

For Alex

Away from the now

Back to the then

I see you with eyes that start over again

I remember the ways

You made me feel

I remember the love, the fervor, the zeal

You ask me to dance

And whirl me around

And I can’t help but wonder

If my sanity’s sound

You whisper in my ear

We laugh and grin

And just like before

You’ve sucked me right in

We race into the night

For an exciting ride

On the back of your motorcycle

We soar, we glide

I hold on tight and feel your warm strength

And know the long years have been short

At length

We are still the same,

You are you

I am me

Outside of time

We’re young and free                     

After the Affair

After the Affair

By: Amelia Rose

For Artemis

I hear the song

It’s playing in the mall

Casual

Just another one in the queue

And yet when I hear it

My heart starts beating faster

My palms begin to sweat

Because it makes me think of you

The time we spent together

Those passionate moments

In the darkness of the night

Are all I can remember

Your love, your heat, the joy you brought

Into my life

It’s what’s kept me going

Since December

But now it’s over

Our time is through

And the pain rakes through my heart

But I’d do it all again

Because you made me feel

Alive again

You were a part of me in a way

No one else could ever

Be a part

And now I’m left

Desolate

Just me

And my Arty
