To be in a world of our own making,
feelings of self -reproach haunt me.
Perfection is constantly sought,
have achieved what ?
The world does intrude you know.
you cant just survive on plain old love everlasting
Knights just don't exist anymore.....
No one puts their life, mortally in harms way for anyone.
Flesh, bones and sinew define me,
I am human just like you
Yet I have placed myself in a solitude
A dungeon of regrets ...........
Unconditional love is dream
No one ever deems anybody worth of that ..........
Some people are just meant to be alone.....................
Alone in a thorny labyrinth of their own making
A maze that pricks ones body
and harms ones heart.
So many loves have gone and passed
Some persons are not worthy of that one true word
such a gift is only meant for a numbered few....................
At last the feeling is a sharp cut
breaks the organ of my heart.................
No discussions just one decision........................
Peace I had briefly felt ........................
Moments in time I have held
Gone like the sand through my hand
dry and wet ..........................
Until this shell is nevermore
and the thirst stay eternal .
Unquenchable.
Activities
Events that occur on a daily basis. Interactions that would be considered the norm and how they are able to shape our perception of the world and people. People come not only in all shapes and sizes but they are all unique in their own way. The impression we may have of a person also may determines how we may view race, religion and even ourselves. I will talk about something that has effected me and that has left a lasting effect on me.

Donkey Prince
The Donkey Prince
Four Elements from the Donkey Prince that are similar to
other fairy tales:
Apple:
The magic apple is portrayed in Snow White as the means to
kill her, which is used by the evil queen. In the Donkey Prince the apple is
seen as a wedding gift given to the Queen by her father, the West Wind. The apple is seen as a source of constant
beauty and health for the Queen. Later on in the story, when the Donkey is
fully grown, the Queen loses the apple and is on her deathbed which is the
complete converse to the tale of Snow White who eats the apple and is close to
death.
Donkey:
The Queen is asked by the Brown Men of the Hills to take in
their young child even though she does not give them the apple to break their
curse. This is very similar to the Rapunzel fairytale where the Witch gets a
child in exchange for her rapunzel. In this case the only similarity is the
child. The Donkey prince will go back to its normal human form which is similar
to the fairytale Beauty and the Beast. Even though he is adopted by the Queen,
he is the heir of the throne. He is loved by the Queen and her husband, not
abused or mistreated by either.
Daisy:
She is an orphan who lives with an old woman who makes her do
straw plaiting. The straw is drawn from the story of Rumplestilskin. She is
also like Beauty and her role is very similar to that of Beauty. Donkey’s curse
is broken just like Beast’s by the love of Daisy. At the end of the story she
marries the Prince and the Brown Men of the Hill all return to their true
forms.
Wild man Hlajki:
They meet Hlajki while they are searching for the wild man
that stole the Queens
apple. They greet him courteously. They offer him the fare that they are
supping on and are very friendly. That throws Hlajki totally off balance
because he didn’t expect any friendliness.
At the end Hlajki, gets his reward at the end by becoming the
leader of all Wild men.
