Leaving, for ports unknown, he said

She felt that pang, a silent dread

No longer anchored, her feelings, kept

She watched, then turned and quietly wept

Bracelets around her wrist, a reminder

No matter what, he’d always find her

For she was his reason to come back alive

The only thing he needed, to survive

The long journey’s, carried over the seas

Knowing she’d be waiting, his beautiful Elouise

You could tell by the look on her face
It was something she’d never embrace

Mama promised, if she got it right
A sweet surprise, would be her delight

Dressed up, in white lace and pink flowers
She tried to do it, for hours and hours

Lying down in the grass, quite exhausted
This whole curtsy deal had her daunted

Angered, indeed, by her now dirty knees
She’d rather lie there, than forever be taunted

#writephoto – Turrets – #poetry

A castle stands, on a mountain high

Its turrets, reaching for the sky

Towers, decorating its building, where

The strong and valiant, fought despair

Coated in dusted powder, fine

Winter, cloaks a different time

Shrouded, by the clouds, so gray

A mighty warrior, here, did stay

To guard the lands, he knew, profound

Kept hidden, by the arbored ground

But days have passed, its empty now

Quietly standing, remembering how

Its stature, grand, for centuries, still

Shall always remain, atop this hill
