Edge of Destiny

She grieves A lover's Death

 

 

 

I stand on the edge of  destiny

   my heart's vessel tattered and torn

Oh, what good am I ,without thee?

   'tis a sad sorrow my soul doth mourn

 

 

Haunting night winds softly speak your name

  in chilling whispers from beyond

and my mind's insynch with death's cold, cold pain

  ne'er shall I see a bright new dawn

 

 

If I cried one Ive cried a thousand tears

  and a weight breathes heavy upon my breast

Each day is mundane without you dear

  and I feel as tho~ I have nothing left

 

 

Oh that  heavens would smile 'pon thee

   and open hell's dark dreary tomb

bringing you back to life and me

   nevermore a lonely spirit to roam

 

 

'Tis this very night I feel a phantom's presence

  your hands go right thru~ me like ghosts

and walls fluidly lifting my soul

  and the scent of your manly essence,I miss the most

 

 

In the still of darkness I let go of your love words to me

   poetry verses you once wrote with desire

now scattered  to a sullen midnight breeze

   'tis now dead matter without life's fire

 

 

O' slowly,ever slowly in death's vapors I am caught

     in  loneliness and misery mine eyes at twilight weep

my life, my love, is all for naught

     for your ghostly form lives on in shadows deep

Oh dear fran ,your voice ,words are like non stop magic..
oh i could almost hear the words through a very dark windy night
the wind speaks your name,whispers from far,the cold pain
never shall I see a new dawn,I cried thousand tears like I ve nothing left
Feel your hands lifting my soul,in all the darkness I see all the love words
poetry speaking desire,now all scatter to a sullen night breeze
In loneliness and misery my eyes do weep..
God this is utterly great and sweet..I ve seen power and life put to words
but never the way you do it..how great,how i loved it
lovely write..

A hauntingly written tragedy. Excellent writing. Great job on this.

This is so profoundly beautiful, haunting, and passionate. A love that truly never ends. You express such a depth of sorrow and pain through each vivid, moving line. Wonderful write in every way.

Tis very nice, Fran. A broken heart, lost love letters.....classic in theme and tone. The second stanza is my favorite though.

'Haunting night winds softly speak your name
in chilling whispers from beyond....'

I like that.

[Sheila Kline]

Oh my.....what an awesome gothic love poem! It is absolutely filled with vivid and beautiful imagery that literally leaves me gasping with awe!

Haunting, chilling and memorable!!

There are just too many amazing lines to pick a fav!

[Magdelena]

Fran this was pure magic.. No other words can describe this.. You took me on a ride through your minds eye and i travled far and wide.. Through places of despair, sadness, heartbreak and loss so real that it brought tears forth.. My this was like looking into the soul of the darkest night and seeing the weeping despair hidden there.

These lines, my.. They touched me so.. Fantastic my gal, utterly fantastic!

Mags xx WOW!!!

This was absolutely amazing, great imagery. I could literally see the poem in my head and feel what the writer was feeling (not the liking the manly smell or anything) but how you feel without someone you love. I liked the display of emotions, keep up the good work.

Fran I love when you combine old world style with your own, this is so beautifully melancholy, very seductively haunting.
