Timeless Love Stories Funeral Speech

* True Love Romance

38 lines

Come closer to me
I have a tale to tell you.

a tale of love, romance
a fairy tale romance
true love story.

that came true to me
almost 50 years ago.

as some of you may know
* I wander all night in my vision

I don’t dream “dreams”

no, I dream vast. cinematic
alternative universes.

often set in other worlds
and places with other faces
than the people I know.

and in that other world

I met a princess
out of a fairy tale
she told me that we were met
to be together.

we were eternal soul mates
doomed to have a tragic ending
due to a 5,000 old curse
dating back to Atlantis.


but this time, the curse will be lifted.
and it was.

* Suddenly out of its stale and drowsy lair
she walked out of my dreams
50 years ago.

and now she is gone
and I will be leaving soon.

to join her in our next chapter
of our endless love stories

from a funeral speech Sam Adams had for his dream girl on his 90th birthday, he died the next day.

Timeless Love stories

I'm currently enjoying a family visit at the beach in a different time zone than I'm usually in, which makes remembering to judge The Cramp on time a challenge! Write your STORY or POEM about someone having difficulty adjusting to a time change. Use COMEDY as one of your genres.

Make sure you include your word count for stories (1000 words or less) or a line count for poems (40 lines or less) IN your forum post with the b-item link to your entry to be a qualified entry.
Avoiding the obvious political anniversaries, here's a literary one for July 4th -- the publication in 1855 of the first edition/version of Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass.

For tomorrow, write a story or poem which uses three of the following five phrases, which are first lines from five of the poems in that collection. Remember to boldface them! (NB: They don't have to be independent clauses in your work -- they can form part of longer sentences if you wish.)

* Come closer to me
* I wander all night in my vision
* A young man came to me with a message
* Suddenly out of its stale and drowsy lair
* There was a child went forth every day

Due July 4, 2024 before noon, WdC time. === ( Deadline: 22 hours 37 minutes 43 seconds )
