Nightfall comes
bestowed upon, peaceful tranquilities
To find the skeletal remains
Of two lovers in their death embrace
Candid snapshots reminisce
Of breathless beauty in passionate song
Engrained in the sands of time
True loves essence still remains
Endearing moments visualized
Of a love song played in golden harmony
Each in raptured in a bed of wanton desire
Lay breathless in picturesque beauty
One last final good-bye
Sealed within their skeletal remains
Play upon the heart-strings of watchful eyes
Soul mates, know not the limits of time!

A beautiful poem, which reaches beyond its words into the sounds of love I was drawn into its compelling interior with your very talented use of shallow but always present alliteration. A lovers tale told with heartfelt pathos. thank you.

Excellent write, Enchanting
In a morbid way this is a certain symbol to us the living that the power of love can not be defeated - even in death.
Well Done.

Hmmnn...It's wonderful, yet again. Deep, nice flow. My favorite
"Endearing moments visualized
Of a love song played in golden harmony
Each in raptured in a bed of wanton desire
Lay breathless in picturesque beauty"
-
Very Good
This poem is very passionate and deep,telling the story of love forever sealed in death for all eyes to see. Flows very smooth, paints it's own picture.
-
This is really well written. The imagery of to lovers locked together forever in death's embrace give you both a shiver of a chill and an awwww moment. It touches on both feelings. Death is the curiousity seeker. Everyone is curious about it. Seeing to skeltons embraced people would ask themselves.. how did they die, why are they here, at least they were together in the end...
I can't really pick out a favorite stanza or line because the whole poem flows softly together, to pick it apart in your mind is like a desecration to the lover's grave. Beautiful job on this!
-
One last final good-bye
