Love after Death (Triple Triolet)

Please tell me you'll remember, dear
After some years have passed
My spirit always will be near
Please tell me you'll remember, dear
Though I am gone, shed not a tear
Nor let you be downcast
Please tell me you'll remember, dear
After some years have passed

I never truly left, you see
Though, some may say I did
I never truly left, you see
My spirit now has become free
Though spiritually, I am still me,
The physical I rid
I never truly left, you see
Though, some may say I did

We'll dance together in your dreams
I pray you will remember
Though, distant you now think I seem
We'll dance together in your dreams
The love we share shines like beams
Let's not let it fade to embers
We'll dance together in your dreams
I pray you will remember

    I apologize that I didn't define a triolet in my author's comments. Per the rules of the form:

    A Triolet is a poetic form consisting of only 8 lines. Within a Triolet, the 1st, 4th, and 7th lines
    repeat, and the 2nd and 8th lines do as well. The rhyme scheme is simple: ABaAabAB, capital
    letters representing the repeated lines.

    I am also sorry that you found this write to be simplistic. The rules mandate it be so. Thank you for your comment.

    loved it

    That was cool. I like that part

    I never truly left, you see

    Even though it's only one line it just kind of caught my eye. If someone was screaming at me while I read this I doubt I would have even been able to tell them to shut up. I was entranced and when I got to the end I was sad that it was over. Great job. Can't wait to read more of your work. Keep it up.

    wow you repeated three different words in each stanza...now that takes some talent..especially when the word you are rhyming is a commonly used rhymed word. *rolls eyes*

    This was very interesting and sweet. I'll definetly remember this poem, dear! hehe. It was original and kept me interested. I like the structure, and the rhythm was great! The imagery is fantastic and it flows nicely. I truly enjoyed reading this… I love how it seems to mesmerize you in certain parts so that you just don’t want to stop reading. It just draws you in. The emotion I felt was astounding! Wonderful! Keep up the great work! Maybe one day you can become a famous poet! I hope to read some more of your work sometime. Congratulations on a wonderful piece of art, and keep writing!!
