I was able to write something for Friday Five at Poefusion this week…this Friday’s words were: exiguous, waterfall, thoughtless, imperfect, and gifted. This is a chained lune. Enjoy.

—————————————-
exiguous, my life
as it fades to black
my vision blurs
thirst has stolen
sanity from me, trapped behind
this enchanted waterfall
which I cannot
touch or drink, lest I
die upon contact
I, imperfect, cast
in mortal clay, was thoughtless
blinded by love
so when you
gifted your love to me
I didn’t think
of the consequences
of loving the son of
the goddess herself
our love was
never meant to be – you
had been betrothed
to another heavenly
citizen, a princess, before you
came to exist
so I, the
obnoxious human female had to
be dealt with
so I am
left to perish slowly, taunted
by running water
which beckons me
with sweet coolness, but promises
death upon contact

Love the ending. It shows how love can be unattainable while being right in front of you. Why does love have to be so difficult? Nice job. Have a nice day.
You have a talent for form writing, for sure!! This is lovely, layered and lithe!
The promise of death on contact is a dleightful, dark image! Quite ominous! Enjoyed this!
excellent, spare & clean.
photo is terrific and conveys the story well… who would have known that a thirst could kill… now love thaz another story… as always form is beautiful..
I have not forgotten everyone, I have been reading your comments, I have just been really busy….thank you for dropping by and leaving your thoughts.
Just one more foray into darkness…I have often found that the thing you most want and which is right in front of you is often the thing that can destroy you the worst….
