The Texas Fairy Tale by Parul Yadav

Stories breathe fire, sets your heart aflame. Fairy tales oh pity your poor heart would you ever wanted to stay?

Your mother taught you, never throw yourselves to wolves. Why did you lean yourself in the size of pole?

Imagine how much the universe focused on the gold spoons, jaws and capes, perfect partying dresses that painted you into muses.

You vanish into feathered beds, and dream of fresh walls with your convertible blush.

Ever wondered of collapsing neck, which swifts by your overdone heart.

Feel free to leave and fly, the arbor is safe my child.

The world will watch with limped eyes, carrying the blade of grass to shape your wings by their hands.

Your texas dreams, peeps into your lost daisy whole kingdom.

Now go to bed you survived the time, night after night, you float away living your Texas life.
