Writing Prompt

I love you, he promised

To the girl with bright green eyes

Alone in the forest

Without a watchful eye

I’ll stay with you forever, dear

Until the time has come

For us to be together

But not upon this earth

Dearest girl did smile then

Lost in train of thought

This boy, he did love her

This boy had caught her heart

I love you, he promised

To the girl with bright green eyes

Back inside the village

...

it was born of beauty

this most gentle affection

almost at a painful pace

i’d melt at his mere mention

he’d buy my coffee

as whispers fill the air

he’d lie next to me

his consideration so rare

i forget all of history’s mistakes

as i cross today’s date

an end to constant heartbreaks

and a silent prayer for peace

peace i am owed

for his treacherous words

love i have bestowed

while he is far far ...

Through the mist

He searches in vain

For a glimmer of hope

A release from the pain

Looking for solace

A path to redeem

Yet all that’s found

Is a shattered dream

Haunted by echoes

That refuse to grow old

A vow made in haste

A chain on his soul

The oath he made

Now frayed and torn

A burden of regret

Sad and forlorn

Through the shadows

Of his lonely mind

Only painful cries

Of a vow unkind

Los...

In the silence of the night, with a heart so steep,

Lay a man with secrets that he couldn't help but keep.

His love for his wife, pure and true,

Yet shadows of desire, in his mind they grew.

He walked a tightrope, in darkness so deep,

Juggling true love, with the lust that did creep,

A whisper of a touch, a fleeting glance,

In the dangerous dance, he took his chance.

His wife, with eyes like ...

Lying on the bed,

Eyes closed in peace

A low growl grows

He blinks tired eyes open,

Only to see nothings there

He lays back down

The growling comes again

He sits up again

Still, nothings there

Annoyed, he lays down again

No more sound hits his ears

Until morning

When the rooster crows,

A whisper comes from the

other side of the door

'Keep my secret. I killed sister.'

He sits up and stares at ...

I was known for my secrets

Ones I will always keep

The kind that will scare you

Deprive you of sleep

I never told anyone

Not a single word

For fear they will share

All they have heard

I never trusted anyone

No one but him

I decided to tell him my secrets

No matter how grim

He promised to keep them

Swore on his soul

My secrets were safe with him

It was his only goal

I made a mistake

By giving h...

I wish it didn’t happen

I wish he he didn’t leave

I wish I could have changed the past

I wish he had believed in me

I’m in the darkness

Lost in the fog

Alone in the deep

Bound by a promise

He couldn’t keep...

My tale begins here,

As all good tales do,

With promises dear,

And broken ones, too.

Love stronger than death,

Yet too weak for life,

Choices made in a breath,

With the gleam of a knife.

The queen ruled alone,

In a land by the sea.

A world of her own,

A soul brave, wild, and free.

She sang to the sea,

And danced with the sun,

A true sovereign, she,

Who would bow to none.

In her hands were the...

A sailor once set out to sea,

His heart as free as it could be,

His ship was sturdy, his crew was strong,

He felt alive, he felt no wrong.

For days they sailed beneath the sun,

Their journey just had just begun,

But then dark clouds began to form,

A storm was coming in full swarm.

The winds howled strong, the waves grew tall,

The sailor's ship was tossed and mauled,

But still he fought, with eve...

"I'll be home soon"

He told his almost bride.

That's the promise he made,

A day before he died.

Of course she knew the risks

Marrying a Navy man

For his fate was written

Long before their love began

He left his girl at home

And he was lost at sea

The waves are unforgiving

And so is his bride to be

They say she's still waiting

By the shore, all alone

She never gave up hoping

That her soldier wo...
