Her Epilogue

On this night, our dreams come true

Under the solemn moonlight

A shadow creeps over marble white

Staining it's traces

Claws reach from the depths

Figures stand with no faces

Her beauty protected

All she sees is golden

The wolves gather in mass

Witnesses to the end

Innocence killed in ornate style

Forever alive among the dead

She never breaks her smile

Lights hugging every curve

Caressed by it's cold embrace

The emissary of life

Leaving her hollow and in place

The circle tightens 

Her dreams fade

Under sullen skies

This is her time of pleasures 

Turned grim and dismay

As one, the voices sang

"Give unto your life for this cause

O, woe is thee 

For what comes next is unseen

We invoke you this night

Our master of morning light"

The howl of winds so strong

Ascendence cut short

Overwhelmed in a sea of flames

She drowns in beautiful misery

Deprived of ugly remorse

Displays of elegance in torn form

Preserved

Her beauty amplified

Shared among the pack

Her innocence 

Crimson red

Shrouded 

Under this dreaded moonlight

When it comes to poetry I tend to be into nonsense verse and surrealism and this seems more like occult poetry with weird fiction overtones. But I really liked it the tone was wonderful, and sustained throughout the piece. while the language itself was engaging.

Thank you so much! I'm glad you got the synopsis of it. My goal is to engage a bit more and have the representation of my work present itself in an equal tone throughout.

Surreal and simply gorgeous. A beauty fated to last forever in darkness. However dark it may be, to me personally I see this as a self sacrifice to maintain something primal and free.

[Final-Karma]

You interpreted this exactly right. It is that primal and sense of freedom that keeps us sane.

Such a captivating piece, I felt like this reminded of a movie I saw awhile back. Its like you perfectly meshed fantasy with reality. As a man, it made me visualize losing a woman I cherished because I couldn't arrive in time. I believe her beauty is sustained, well past her remains. Keep up the great work.

I love the story of this poem, the words were selected flawlessly! And it is a painting so vivid in my mind, it is as if I was there myself. Thank you for this one, as I am not surprised at how wonderful this is. ~namaste

Whilst reading this I listened to Greensleeves which is said to be composed by Henry the 8th - that just made this so beautiful. I thought this was beautifully written, I loved the tone and the themes of life and death that you used. I don't know how you do it, but every poem or work that I read of yours is always so well written and a joy to read! I just wanted to let you know that I hope the read requests keep coming because I just love your style of writing and the themes that you pick - they are really up my street and I have enjoyed reading each and every one of your works. I can't tell you how stunning your descriptions are (I know, I know I always say this) but it is true, your descriptions are just always on point, and it makes your works so magical. Looking through this, I cannot find any faults. A very beautiful poem that really captured my interest and another one of your stunning works that I can assure you will be added to my favorites list. Thank you so much for sending me a read request for this, I am so glad that I got to read it as it is really very good. You should be proud of yourself, it is stunning. Thanks again!

[Final-Karma]

You are always so kind! Thank you for loving my work as much as you do. Every time I submit a piece of work to this site, I never really expect much. I treat these almost as a second source of memory for things that I store to be remembered. I really appreciate your reviews and am very thankful for your honesty. I look forward to reading more of your work as well!

Exquisitely beautiful despair. Dancing easily through the shadows till that sweet sweet suffering brings the high.

Lovely Read

The words are beatiful and it invokes alot of wonderful and sometimes haunting images. What is it about however this time I am not sure.
I love the mystery of it. I feel like all the clues are there for me to put together but right now they are slipping through my mind. I will have to ponder this one.

[Final-Karma]

You are so kind. My end goal is get people wondering and to interpret my work in their own way and relate it to their lives. Thank you so much.
