The Death of Romance

She breathed heavily in his clasp
The rain fell cold like sorrow
Upon the weight neither could grasp
There would be no tomorrow

He held her there as his tears fell
Upon her crimson lips
The thunder rolled like a church bell
Shaking her finger tips

Her pale form was like marble stone
Her eyes no longer bright
Her golden hair no longer shown
Like endless rays of light

Her eyes were once blue cascades
From them her tears did fall
As she embraced her accolades
And answered Death’s dark call

The sky turned black as Death sailed there
The squall was like his scythe
It froze and then it convulsed the air
And caused the trees to writhe

Her lover gasped in sorrowed cries
As Death stretched down his hand
Then finally she closed her eyes
To explore the next land

And as she went to meet the stars
The gales howled and then ceased
Because despite their tears and scars
Maybe she had found peace

Because their Love was pure and true
It did not end in chance
Yet until he died, he clung to
The Death of their romance…

    that made me cry. absolutely powerful. amazing. wonderful job.

  • This is a really beautiful love story. I love the rhyme as well as the flow of the piece. like it because it's a real romance that ended not when she but when he died. It's really amazing.. Good luck

    I didn't honestly expect to like this... the title, just gave me the feeling that I wouldn't. Not your fault at all, just a personal thing. But his tears falling on her lips painted a picture that left me curious about the story. I'm glad I read this, I enjoyed several descriptions very much indeed. nice work.

    Are you SERIOUS?

    LMAO...I absolutely loved it! I mean like I've read poems, as well as written poems where I try to forcefully rhyme. Well it was only one poem, but anyways I loved your poem! It just flowed and was so detailed with emotion...you made me feel...which is hard...cause I tend to be heartless....Four thumbs up...No I'm not a mutant...
