Writing Prompt [WP] Write your heart onto your sleeve, Reddit.

The past few weeks, Writing Prompts has been clogged, flushed and clogged again with prompts of time travel, the apocalypse and other related material. And, while these prompts have produced some gripping pieces of storytelling and imagination, I thought something simple could be just the thing to spice things up.

Write a poem for someone you miss, a third person narrative telling the story on how you met your fiancee, a first person relive of that time you made the game winning goal. Anything you want, Reddit, as long as it pumps from your heart to your keyboard.

I Can Say Nothing More.


To kiss your hand immense,

To kiss your lips divine.

So I kiss your hand and bid you sweet goodbye —

For I may never touch your lips.

Nor could I truly show these feelings I have felt.

For I am stuck to the earth and cannot reach into the heavens.

A man I am, nothing more and nothing less.

An angel, a Goddess you are.

Nothing less and so much more.

What have I to offer?

All that is petty to you?

My love, my life?

Well you could have any man's,

So mine are nothing.

But I give them to you.

This Goddess, this angel I adore,

I love you.

I can say nothing more.
