Shattered Dream : a Bride Story

Free Verse Form

Come near me, my love.
Come and hold my hands.
I've been merrily waiting for you.
Can you hear that wistful piano sound?
Everyone had gathered, prayers are spoken. 
 
Come near me, my love.
Come and sit on my side.
Why can't you speak a word?
Don't you think I look beautiful in this trousseau? 
Now, wear me the ring, for I can't wait to say I do.

Come near me, my love
Come now and gaze on my face as you usually did.
Oh I wish I could dry your tears,
I wish I can smile and whisper in your ear
How grateful I am for the moments we had.

Come near me, my love
Come now and bring me flowers
Hand me a perfect bouquet of love.
Because I did love you until my end
And I will be blessing you, even in this death.

then in time he did come
in a coffin too he travelled
for he heard your call for company
so he ended his life to be with you
forever...

You are welcome.
What was the background or inspiration for writing this poem?
Was it based on some real incident?

[Shirley Wontas]

Hi Z...sorry for my late replied. Actually, I wrote this based on my imagination. I was thinking about "shattered dream", and this scene just popped into my mind...

[zainul]

This is a wonderful work of imagination.
Thank you dear friend.
