Legend of Love

Teddy.15

 

Far, far away in distant lands

in a cave in the middle of a dark forest

deep within the Scottish hills

there lived a dragon

“Aiden”

so grand and magnificent

his fire so strong

it engulfed his very own heart

 

for, over the hill stood in vein

his true love

she was defined by her gracious beauty

but Aiden, so timid and shy

never told of this

 

delicate like a leaf

lost within the dungeons of his own heart

 

so hidden, underground

vulnerable to the outside world

 

yet for her, he would have fought an entire village

winning her heart after any great battle

alas, for his lack of confidence

he was afraid if he got too close, she’d reject him

 

eventually he would die alone

in the sea of his own tears

 

covered in confetti.

    Great poem 🙂 like your words . It can be difficult when we are lacking in confidence .. I guess

    • Teddy.15

      Awe thank you dear Rose. Lacking confidence can really make a difference in whether we are able to achieve or not and it's not just for love but in every aspect of life too. Thank you darling rose 🌹💖

      • LIZ

        Mmmm sad ending....but happens all the time. Lack of confidence can make us miss many opportunities. It's better to risk it all...in my opinion. But, I understand we all walk that path differently...and it's a process. Really enjoyed this one! 🐉 🐲

        • Teddy.15

          Awe it really does apply in everything in life, I do love Aiden, he has a few other things written on his behalf. Thank you dearest Liz, always a pleasure to know you like my scribbles. 💖 ❣️🤗

          Beautifully told and illustrated dear Teddy. I will have fairytale dreams tonight. How weak and helpless the strong can become when it comes to affairs of the heart, for it can be so easily broken. Lighter than air this poem, for it just rises and rises!

          • Teddy.15

                I'm a huge fan of Scotland and I am a huge fan of Runrig, as for the dragons I'll say I've visited many parts of the beauty that is Scotland, it was one of the most friendly places on earth. I hope it still is. 💖 Always lovely to see you dear Peto.

                  as a fantasy reader
                  and from spending years
                  travelling to and from
                  those most majestic Scottish
                  hills
                  this, is just up me poetic creek
                  if you will..
                  effortlessly executed dear cherished Poet
                  (will this be part of your children's story collection?
                  it could work, would need to give her a name
                  and add a little depth to her character
                  otherwise all the ingredients are there)
                  'but what do i know' lol

                  • Teddy.15

                    Wow, I never ever thought about this going past a poem stage, you give me much to think about dear Mek, maybe you have even inspired a new project. lol 💖 thank you darling friend.

                      A sad story of love unrequited a nursery story that is lived by many unfortunately. Nicely told my friend
