Tragic tale of a dead lover...

All Is Perfect Neath the Lovers Moon

=============================
All Is Perfect Neath the Lovers Moon
=============================

Happy was she walking home in the dying hours of night
On the arm of her new love they make an arresting sight
Loves young dream the future mapped a life and future bright
Under the moon all was well: a perfect moment in time.

Outside her home a shadow lurked, behind the gate did stand
A love he’d lost, forever he knew, and with knife in hand
Revenge he saught on his rival: a murder he had planned:
Down to the last detail: It would be the perfect crime.

But he and her new love voilently faught
And she to stay away she knew she aught
But got between them, to pacify them saught
Only to bear the weapon in her chest.

And as both men on their love looked down
Scarlet red staining her white gown
Sirens rushing to the scene echod over town
As the lifeblood spewed from the wound on her breast.

The dance of love and of hate uncontrolled
Allowed this tragedy to unfold
And storys of her ghost appearances are told
That appears on the street where she did die.

Her love lost died on the gallows singing
Her love from a treew sent himself swinging
The funeral bells for all three in time were ringing
And to this day people shake their heads and ask why.

A wonderfully painted poem, consisting of many wonderful stanzas and envoy.....we need to be more attentive towards each other, hope all is well; thanks also for reviewing my piece.

Ballads require love and hate and the ghost of a soul lost too early. This one is lovely, dark and deep.
