unreachable

out of inspiration. a kerchief moment

 

 

on her wedding day

his heart was breaking

not only in two

but into millions of pieces

and each and every broken piece

was numbing him with unbelievable pain

 

he had known this to become

the darkest day of his existence

it got even darker than dark

today his world stopped turning 

his sun got knocked off

 his whole being ripped in two

 

he looked at her in the distance

standing like an angel from heaven 

in a gleaming cloud of white  

on top of the big steps

at the cathedral's entry

never had he seen such innocent and pure beauty

 

he filled his lungs with a big gulp of fresh air

but it did not help

the terrible hurting inside

nothing could help

this evil spirit, sore thoughts

and all of those way too clear images

that constantly emerged

and which he couldn't get out of his reeling mind

 

that this  ... well ... handsome guy

was to touch 'his' precious love tonight ...

and it will be his  ' R i g h t ' to do so ...!!!  ...DAMN!!!

that guy there with those   b l u e   b l o o d   m a n n e r s !

was to be the father of her future princes and princesses

she was lost to him now - for good! - forever!

 

the just married couple

made its way through an

applauding, shouting, waving and singing crowd

he did not even notice nor realise it

he only saw the one person

who meant everything to him

the one he loved with every fibre of his being

coming nearer and nearer

her slender and fragile figure

on the arm of that ... m a n !

 

right then he caught

her furtive glance at him

and he saw a lonely tear

gliding down her lovely peachy cheek

 

they both knew

it was the end

of it all

the end

of the two of them

the end

of two

who were meant to be

.......... but could never be

 

even when his whole heart

was hers - forever

and hers was his - forever

 

W H Y ???

 

 

why had she

to be

 

the King's daughter

 

?!?!?

Well done! It was a wonderous read, and attention grabbing too. I applaud your piece. It was far too easy to slip into the mind of the narrorator. The only thing, I feel was missing was the raging anger and of being forced to let another touch the one who holds his heart. The anguish and helpless feelings were easily portrayed. Truely a fine piece!

[Angel Bird]

Thank you very much for your kind review. Yes maybe his desperate anger could be a little bit more raging, but back then in those times they knew from the start that they had no future, but love knows nothing about rules and rational thinking. I appreciate your comment. Thank you.

:) good work
as always

I have to admitt that my first thought was not one of these again.... You know what I mean those clich�d Poems about love gone wrong and the guy standing outside watching his last chance to rectify the situation slipping through his hands into the hands of another but this one took an interesting twisting road to something really beautiful...nice job.

[LlamaLord]

Very strong...really clear as well. I could imagine the feels that you expressed through some of the deep/raw lines. Very nice! Good luck in my comp.!

This is a good story-poem, but it totally lacks euphony...and I think you need to lose the writing with separated letters.
Anywayz, the ending was unexpected and funny ( even if you didn't mean it :P ).
Nice work.

Thank you so much for submitting your poem! It's wonderful!!! I absolutely loved it! :] So sad... forbidden love.

[Kitty]

This is really pretty. A sad, soft sweet feel to it. A forbidden love is never an easy one...

Nice job!

P.S Good luck in my contest :]

Wow. At first, I had glanced down to see how long this poem was, and the last line caught my eye, making me think for some strange reason that it was from the King's perspective. That kind of threw me off, especially when they met eyes and knew that their love was each others eternally. All in all, a good poem. A little confusing and a little hard to follow, but with a little practice, I believe you can clear that up and become superb poet. Good Write.

That was sweet, thanks for sharing and posting Yos

That was really beautiful the story that you entwined within the poem was brilliant as well. You led the reader on to think that everything was fine but it wasn't Great Job. Good luck in my contest and thanks for entering!
