isolde gazing
across the waters
across the waves
chest aching
for her tears, drowning
the forbidden kiss lingering
like fire on her lips

Oh dear, the poor princess is pining with unrequited love. ‘Isolde’: a new word, I learned today. ☺

If you’re into this kind of thing, I recommend reading one of the various attempts to reconstruct the tale of Isolde and Tristan (various alternate spellings exist) from the medieval period of literature. It’s quite tragic.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tristan_and_Iseult#Narratives_of_the_legend has a pretty good run-down of the various branched forms of this very old story.
