who would want
a cinderella for a man
jackal in the morning
hyde at night
who would want
a cinderella for a man
hiding in the morning
lovin’ at night
.
for I wouldn’t want
a cinderella for a man
whose body is here
but mind is there
for I wouldn’t want
a cinderella for a man
who wears the glass slippers
and flinches on the stairs
.
well I would want
a cinderella for a man
who cares and loves
yet ignites the stove
well I would want
a cinderella for a man
whose aim is in circles
yet partakes in my plan..
.

Perfect take.. I have to say your expression to the use of Cinderella fits and bring out the deepest simplest wish in Love..
Here are mine, I have two.. Cartoon of Me and Sci-fi..

See you!!
thank you krislin..
Looks like you’re looking for someone strong, not like cinderella who needs to be “saved” by a prince.
nice poem!
thank kat..
Hahaha!! That made funny imageries in my mind.
Nice one, giving plenty of smiles because of the exaggerated characters.
tq nanka..
Nice one, Fiveloaf. I like the switch to liking cinderella. Perhaps you’d prefer one of her ugly sisters – lol!

Cinderella disappears at night, I wonder how that would effect her love life lol. A male one, with a fairy godfather, Marlon Brando?
Fairy funny fiveloaf!

Hmmm…glad you want the ‘real’ Cinderella and not the fairy tale!
