Muddy Waters

A muddy, foam-flecked, turbulent river divides me from the world.  Mirroring my anguish, it keeps me from the one I love.

I am imprisoned here, with my inkwell, my Venetian blown-glass vase, my antique clock, and my beautiful brass sailing ship.  I’m allowed to write, and look out the window.  Food is brought to me twice daily – olives, plain bread, a small square of cheese, and water.

My crime?

I fell in love with the Prince from our neighboring country.

When we were caught kissing, it caused an uproar.

The Princess, my intended bride is heartbroken.  He is her brother.
