Caroline's Passage

Would you stumble through the wintery night to pass on so delicate a tender?

The body of carefree Caroline,
He staggered through the snow,
The only passion he had ever known,
And salty scars traced down his cheeks,
Lay dead in her lover's clasp.
Which had once blazed from her kisses.

Deeper into that winter night,
He staggered through the snow,
Deeper into an abysmal hell,
And treked near Death's river,
He ventured to those icy waters
Bearing a tender of delicate means.

Death's vessel rode the frigid waters,
He staggered through the snow,
To guide her to just beyond,
And passed her on to renewed passage,
An icy fog where a bank should be.
To pass with Him to deathly worlds.

A stormburst of light blossomed,
Her eyes began to flutter,
As she left her lover's tight embrace,
Stepping willfully into his vessel,
And took her hand with Death's.
To glide away brilliantly through mist.

The golden light of carefree Caroline,
He staggered through the snow,
Had traveled to her land beyond,
Awaiting his own immenent journey,
The icy fog where a bank should be.
With Death across his stickly river...

Very, very well written piece. Love the imagery in this. I could see almost every line. With the way you are writing, I think you should go back a fix the spelling and grammar. It takes away from the true sincerity of the piece. Anyway, great work, great read. Keep writing and be sure to send me your writing sometime!

very vivid, good vocabulary. i liked how "He staggered through the snow" was the second line in almost every stanza, reinforcing that image. nicely done.
