happily ever after

everyone is familiar

with such stories of

a beautiful princess

and the handsome prince

as the story usually goes,

the prince shall seek for

the hand of his princess,

and the princess shall for

for her knight in shinning armor

to come rescue and swept her

off her feet.

within the stories,

magical quests

monsters and dragons

evil witches

pixies and fairies

are nothing but common details

after searching far and wide,

dwelling the most horrifying of beasts

shall a true love's kiss

be set upon the lovers lips

and they'd end up happily ever after..

this is the general idea that have been inserted

into the many many fairy tales around the world

for thousands of years.

you ask any boy and they'd say

they want to be the hero and saves the girl

and the girls will say that

they've been dreaming of a prince

riding on a magnificent white horse.

and tell me, who on earth would turn away from

the idea of happily ever after?

but, does anyone truly

understands the meaning oh the phrase?

"happily ever after"

what does it means?

is it being eternally happy

and free from other emotional forms?

or does it mean differently?

or is it nothing but a phrase?

i mean..

does it really ends there?

or is it a beginning of something new?

should there be more

after the dragons and evil step-mothers?

to my thinking

"happily ever after" means "married life"

which is a whole new beginning

of something much much more

something extraordinary

 the new dwells would be

the hardship of raising a family

do u agree wih me?

i mean..

in-laws

adjustments

pregnancy

children

financial crisis

diaper change

teenage riot

expences

stress

all above

is but another form of

some kind of quest itself is it not?

a quest yet to be discovered

by the prince and princess

right after "and they lived happily, ever after"

-end-

ps..just something i wrote during class
