Humpty Dumpty- Revisited

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall,
All the king's horses and all the king's men,
Could not put Humpty Dumpty together again..

I fell and got broken too.

I was quietly seated on that pretty twig, one cold winter afternoon, when Peter Pan suddenly came up to me. He asked how am I coping with the weather. I told him that I was doing well. That little concern alone filled my heart with delight. My fondness for him grew, in each passing day, in each passing year, winter after winter..

When Wendy came back to Neverland, my winters felt colder. Peter Pan would no longer be there. Wendy was his world. Nevertheless, I survived... only to realize that I withered like the trees in fall in anticipation of a colder winter... without him.

There was a time when I can no longer handle it. For a fairy like me, holding two emotions at the same time is NOT POSSIBLE, and so when I feel pain, I only feel pain. Like Humpty Dumpty, I fell from that twig and got my heart broken. Funny, I thought that since my heart was shattered into pieces, I can feel a number of emotions at once.

I was wrong.. the ache just multiplied by the number of broken pieces..

Unlike Humpty Dumpty, I got friends who picked me up and put me together. They all came, the fairy of the flowers, the fairy of the dusk and dawn, the fairy of the waters, that of the woods, and my best buddy, the fairy of the fire.

And so I am whole again writing this account.
It's cold out here, up this tree.

I guess it's winter time again.

Sleeping Beauty's Insomia...

Not all people knew that Sleeping Beauty had a sleeping problem.

She had it since the Prince woke her up with a Kiss. The couple consulted the best doctors and wizards in the Kingdom. No one could help her.. As time went by, her illness started to ruin their relationship. They would argue about her not sleeping, her moods, his wants, his plans, their past, their present and their future.

Like I said, it all started when she woke up after a very long time sleeping and snoozing over wonderful dreams about her secret world, about her man, and about her greatness. When she woke up, all dreams disappeared. Everything was replaced by the existence of her beloved Prince. Nobody knew that she secretly hated him for waking her up. She hid her sadness of not having those dreams again. She hated him most especially when she was not able to sleep..

This time, Sleeping Beauty and the Prince decided to sit down and talk about it. They realized that it has come to a point that they would have to choose between staying together and sleeping well..

(I know what's on your mind right now dear reader.. Pathetic isn't it?.. to love or to sleep? to love or to sleep?.. this is not fair. Let's take it to a higher level, the love or the dream? the love or the dream?.. now, it rings a bell.)

The Prince knew that he wouldn't be able to give Sleeping Beauty the dreams she most wanted. And so he let her go.

Sleeping Beauty then went back to sleep, she chose her dreams.
And so she's alone in her own world.

Up to this time, she's still there.
What she doesn't know is that, her Prince is beside her, waiting for any sign that she wants to wake up again, willing to kiss her again, and be with her through all the arguments and through all the sleepless nights.

He prays hard for it, and that's all he's left to do for now.
