Remembrance By Dark Waters

A fictional telling of lost love.

As he stood by the dark waters,

it mirrored the pale moon in the sky.

His sight was drawn to the image

and was soon blurred by the tears in his eye.

 

She had been his only love in this cold world

and had kept his heart warm through the many nights.

Their marriage had been blissful and joyous

Between the droughts of sorrows and fights.

 

But that all came to a bitter end

when Death came knocking at their door.

Upon entry into their home of love and bliss,

Death stole her away across Styx's shore.

 

He wiped his tears away with a shivering hand,

moonlight reflecting off the golden band.

Author's Note

I was trying to use the images to evoke emotion and to get the reader to feel the main character's loss.

I can't remember what form I used in this poem and would love to have someone jog my memory! TIA =)
