THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG

the princess and frog fairy tale in poetry

there was a princess, who once had a dream

a dream of the sun, a dream of the sea

but there stands a wall between her and the dream

the wall of money, the wall of dime

she was a princess, a princess in their eyes

her parents, their daughter, their pride.

she lived a life of happiness and depth

living it to the zenith, to the end of this world

every move she made spread the vibe of life

every smile she gave spread the vibe of another smile

with every step she took she spread love

with every laughter she spread cheer.

then came along a handsome prince with a vibe of his own

a vibe of flirt, a vibe of fun

he came find himself a princess, a heiress of sorts

such was he lost in the world of fun and frolic

that he mis-stepped and got mis-lead

to the world of the rotten, the world of the enchanter.

the choices he made were so devastating

it lead to being a frog

slimy , green, attracting a frequent scream

still not loosing hope, he hopped in search of his love.

but then he was struck by a dream

a dream that floated by, as if walking on the breeze

so, he followed her to her humble abode

catching every glimpse, every smile, every laugh

by the time they reached home, he fell in love

lost his heart to the beautiful girl.

he decided to go up to her, ask her to be his wife

travel across the world, to the kingdom of her dream

but he had forgotten that he was a prince no more

he was the frog prince, he was no mink.

nevertheless he stepped forward

walked up to her window, raised his voice

calling out to her he put out his heart, saying

"my dear, i have never seen a dream walk by

looking so beautiful, just so divine

spreading life, spreading a smile

but now i have fallen in love with the dream

i can't hold back, i have to stretch out and touch it

so come my love, i wish to take you along

to my kingdom across the world so vast

i shall cherish you forever in life

come with me, be my wife."

the girl intrigued came to her window

looking for the prince, the man who spoke with gusto

but all she saw was a frog on the pane

sad and low she sat down so slow

she looked at the frog with eyes full of life

that forced the frog prince to ask for a smile.

the girl so shocked, she looked with awe

at the frog prince who did not budge or go away

he spoke again for a kiss

but his love shied away saying she was no princess

but he said she was his princess and no regular mistress.

so she agreed to give him the dream kiss

without thinking or making a fuss

as his words had cast a spell on her

a spell of love, a spell of two doves.

she kissed her frog with full devotion

and opened her eyes to find her prince.

with love spilling over the brink

they made the announcement to the thick and thin

inviting the world to wish them luck and sail them away to the far off world

thus, the princess of the house, grew to be the princess of the crowd

ruling with love and compassion

living every little girls dream.
