Destiny
(Inspired by Sleeping Beauty)
by
Dorlana Vann

A bequeathed curse placed upon a kingdom.
A century of thorns and valiant deaths.
A beautiful rose dreams of love’s freedom.
Without a mere glimpse he pursues his quest.
Fate leads the way and parts the tangled briar.
Gently he walks through a city at rest.
Destiny sleeps deep in a dark tower.
One second to see, one second to yearn.
Love’s sweet ache impels a kiss of power.
When their lips touch the intense passion burns.
The clouds move away to reveal the sun.
Happily ever after, soon they’d learn.
After a hundred years, all has undone.
A bequeathed curse lifted from a kingdom.

Humble Fiction Cafe Presents
Split
A dichotomy/opposites anthology

Purchase paperback
ISBN-13: 9781435709218

Come into a world of love-struck fish and super-intelligent bugs; of the ordinary and the bizarre; of then and now; of this world and the next; of people you know and folks you hope never to meet.

These twenty-seven original stories and poems have but one thing in common: they all show two halves of an idea, two sides of a coin.  They show what happens when a concept becomes SPLIT.
