Hello people, it's me again. Just dropping by with a poem. Btw, Diary of a Curious Girl is discontinued. I didn't have time to write it. Sorry!

Rumors
Words.
Do you realize how strong they are?
In the tongue are the powers of life and death.
And that's certainly true here.
He was the son of the Duke,
The next in line to rule his town.
His life felt incomplete, in a way he couldn't explain.
Alone, he searched for what was missing.
She was the daughter of a high lord,
Attended to by servants and showered in riches.
She did not see her purpose in life.
Alone, she searched for something that could not be bought with wealth.
Soon, they would find what they were looking for.
He planned a ball with his father.
She was invited.
They both felt that that party would change their lives.
Alone, they waited.
The night came.
Time flew by on swift wings,
And it became time to dance.
He searched for a partner.
She saw him.
He saw her.
In a daze, they neared each other.
Bowing, he asked,
"May I have this dance?"
Curtsying, she said,
"Yes."
As they danced in tune with the music,
One glance into each other's eyes was all it took.
She gazed into his pale blue eyes,
Seeming to stretch back like a crystal ocean.
She felt that his eyes reflected who he was.
Handsome, even though others might disagree.
At that moment, she found what she had been looking for,
And she felt a strong emotion she had never had before.
He gazed into her green eyes,
Light playing on them and giving them a sparkle.
He felt that her eyes reflected who she was.
Graceful and sparkling with beauty.
At that moment, he found what he had been looking for,
And he felt a strong emotion he had never had before.
Love.
Do you know how powerful it is?
It touches your heart and brightens your life.
And that's certainly true here.
Sometime later, the two became one.
Bonded together, by mirage and love.
Their lives seemed complete.
Together, they were content.
But then their lives were thrown asunder.
She knew she couldn't stay.
It would meaning risking the life she carried,
And she couldn't bear that.
Alone, she left with tears streaming down her face.
His heart was broken.
It was ripped in half and bled with hurt.
He waited night after night,
For her to return.
But she never came back.
Apart from her, he crumbled.
Finally, he couldn't take it anymore.
He had to find out why
She had left so suddenly.
He wrote a letter and encased it in a gilded box.
He entrusted it to a traveler.
But it would be stolen,
And taken far from where it was meant to go.
Alone and empty, he wept.
Rumors.
Do you know how misleading they are?
They deceive and lead people astray.
And that's certainly true here.
The jewel studded box became famous.
Because of a rumor, it was surrounded
In shadowy lies.
And so it was for many long years.
Time went by, as it often does.
She finally got a hold of the box,
And, reaching the end of her life, she wrote a reply.
Apart from her love, Sophia reached the end of her story.
A year sailed by on eagle's wings.
He received her replied.
The words of explanation mended his heart,
And he realized how wrong he had been.
Together with his granddaughter, Anton understood.
Words.
Do you realize how strong they are?
In the tongue are the powers of life and death.
And that's certainly true here.
