Perpendicular, a fairy-tale-poem

For those, that do not like fairy tales, a poem, I did write for one of my friends on LJ. The words, she did challange me with, you can read from top to bottom.
****
Poem for Rhashida.
 *
Perpendicular, a fairy-tale-poem.
 *
Progression: does it work
Even when not expected to exist?
Roads do not go always straight to a area,
Perpendicular seems although more impossible
Even at important sites in a landscape.
Nothing will make me  feeling more surreptitious
Does make me feel  more surrealistic than
Independent growing straight lines:
Could they really bring me to an
Unexpected solution that brings me a
Link to a bright new future
And keeps still in mind that
Roses mostly have thorns too?
 *
Sometimes fairy-tales  are more like
Ultimate dreams, where
Right and wrong is set to none-
Realistic lines of almost to strait,
Embedded rigid social rules to
Pass “the way things should be”
Through time and time again
In memory of what worked well
Though new things seldom came
In tales that had to have the beginning:
Once upon a time, and
Ultimately had to have an
Serious happy ending.
 *
Good tales and normal life
Read sometimes likewise
A story never expected: it
Proved to be “sweet and sour”
Evenly or not truly divided!
 *
Echo’s from stories of the past
Come and do us think of
Horrendous memories
Or the happiest times of our life.
 *
Can someone fulfill
All that future and progression gives and
Not take in account that in reality never
All lays in ones own hand and fairy-tales and
Life  mix themselves very seldom.
