The Letters #6

Love,

Thank you for bringing her to me. You know my reverence for the dead, nearly as well as I know your fear of them. The 나비 sleeps among the flowers now.

Soon

The Letters #5

Darling,

That would be paradise forever my love, better to me than the idea of heaven. Sending you a butterfly I found in the garden today. I found its body lying under the pansies, a flash of blue in the corner of my eye. When I discovered the poor creature had perished, my first thought was to send him to you. I know of your fascination with the earth creatures and your predilection for giving them proper respect and burial in death. Perhaps you will give this butterfly the same treatment as so many others.

May the sweethearts sleep well.

The Letters #4

Love,

If I were given a wish, from a genie or leprechaun or tossing a coin in a well, it would be to spend eternity with you in that orchard. We would forever have the sun on our faces, warming the soil under the blanket we lay on as we feasted on the foods in our basket and the trees above.

Yours

[faulknerwrites]

The Letters #3

Darling,

I’m glad. Our meeting today was the first to bring a smile to my lips in longer than can be remembered. The sight of you is as sweet as the honey we spread on our bread and our distance as sour as the cherries we plucked from the trees in the orchard.

Remember me in your heart

[faulknerwrites]

The Letters #2

Love,

I know. You never mean to hurt me, and truthfully you never have. Your fists are too light on my skin and your words have no hope of piercing my heart, held back as they are. I’m sure, dear, that if I truly angered you and was deserving, you would flay me within an inch of my life. All the same, that is not something you would ever do.

Forgiven

The Letters #1

Darling,

I’m sorry for what I said today. It was rude of me. I never meant to hurt you. Please write me soon, I’m looking forward to our upcoming time together.

Yours

Cultural Dissonance Poem (Bonus)

The dog

There came a flood

Pounding rains on my glass roof

So loud i couldn't sleep for fear it’d shatter

The rains came swiftly

A dog sleeping on a rock in the river

Was caught in the storm

People gathered on the bank

Made plans to get it out

As the river swelled

Rushed, roared

And the trees swayed

Yet they waded

Into rushing water

Arms linked

Heads bowed

To carry the dog home

Cultural Dissonance Poem #2

Maracuya

Brilliant yellow or faded grey

Over black seeds

Sweet and tart

Spread over cream

The sun shining over the earth

It was abundant

Always near

Like the tree tomatoes

And coconut candies

Now a fog on the edge of my vision

Disappearing with a glance

I spend

Hours

Searching stores

For a fruit like passion

Hoping for a glimpse

A hint

Of the taste of home

[faulknerwrites]

Cultural Dissonance Poem #1

I speak in tongues

Words come like fire,

Spitting off the tongue

They flow and skip,

water over stones

Twist from the mouth leave confusion in their wake

Indecipherable, a puzzle made of sound

Patterns and course

Nearly silent at once

Then

Rushing too fast for comprehension

Long to

Speak, words no longer

Trapped in cages

When they should fly off the tongue like birds

A Short Intro For Y'all

Hey y'all! I'm Lucia and this account is a collection of some of my favorite things I've written and am currently writing! I'm especially going to do a couple various series of works (secret letters, A-Z prompt stories, ect.) from now, as well as post some of the things I've written previously.

I like to write mainly fiction stories, many of which are slice-of-life, fantasy, and horror. If you have a prompt you want to see go ahead and leave an ask and I'll see what I come up with, I always love new inspiration!

I also have a website (https://www.faulknerwritesstories.com) if you want to see more stories outside of the collections that I've posted here.
