My Lady

Poe-esque I hope

My lady stands in the night

Amidst the early winters chill

Staring faithfully to the stars

 

To her chest she clutches

A worn and weathered tome

It's pages long lost to time

 

But she remembers

She remembers lines of hope

And of sadness

Of prophecies long lost

 

She remembers times of love

And the lack thereof

 

This book she clutches

To her bosom tightly

As ivy climbs her steady form

 

The book of her life

Her forgotten memoires

She holds in keeping

Until the ivy

Claims them both

Author's Note

This was written about a statue in front of my fiance's house

You've drawn a very fine picture with well chosen words. And I think this picture is going to stay with me for a long time.

The ending is superb.
I really liked this one. Lots.

Delightfully written ....

[Conrad Wrobel]

Woah, that is something else. So beautiful and almost creepy. Wonderful imagery. Its pretty Poe-ish, but doesnt have that foreboding sense yet. Good work!
Cheers! XD

It is well written. It more like describes a woman who refuses to let a book from an ex or something.
I didn't think it was a statue till you wrote that. It is very descriptive. I love it!
