The Legend of Their Love

Their love for each other will never die.

The Legend of Their Love

 

Long ago in the middle of the night.

A walk through the woods was their delight.

Though the moon did not shine so bright.

The clouds kept it covered all through the night.

 

They walked along side by side.

Up the path to the sky.

The view was dark and eerie.

Covered in heavy fog that hung so dreary.

 

They walked along the edge of the cliff.

Being careful not to slip.

The path so narrow he walked ahead.

With her behind, she walked slowly on the edge.

 

Footsteps apart no longer heard.

He stops, looks back and called to her.

The fog so thick it’s hard to hear and see.

He heard a faint scream, help me!

 

He hurriedly walked towards her voice.

As she cried, help me I can’t hold on.

He began to panic and stumbled around.

As he looked and looked she was nowhere to be found.

 

Finally, He touched something cold and damp.

Her hand on the rock tightly clamped.

He grabbed her hand, she slid down.

She screamed for him, until she hit the ground

 

Left on the ledge all alone.

There was no reason for him to go back home.

Tears filled his eyes and ran down his face.

He built him a tent and lived at this place.

 

When the fog had cleared and the moon was bright.

He walked down the ledge late that night.

He looked around and saw her lying there on the ground.

He ran to her and picked her up with a frown.

 

He held her tight the rest of that night, crying he could not stop.

When the sun came up he laid her in the ground and covered her up.

Before he could walk away, he laid a flower on her grave and he whispered I loved you.

He climbed back up to his ledge, where he had made a tent to live.

 

Dark and foggy nights he faintly hears her screams.

She always came to visit him in his late night dreams.

So warm and beautiful her hair flowed around him and tender was her voice.

Before she would leave she always whispered in his ear, “I love you too my dear!”

　

Years have passed since that night of him losing his love.

Though every night she comes to see him from somewhere up above.

The love between them still remains, though stronger.

Their passion for each other seems to burn much longer.

 

True love can not be severed you see.

No matter what form it takes it will always be.

Though stronger and more passionate it came to them.

Forever their love together, never will end.

A beautiful, ethereal story that seemed to coalesce perfectly. I like most of the rhyme scheme here and the underlining message was true and cherished as well. A very good story/poem. Nice work. This is one of my favorites from you.

What a powerful blend of agony and beauty... love that goes on and on, into the mists of eternity. Felt like a legend of old come fresh to life.

Very interesting, sad, and romantic story. I love tales told through poetry ^_^ I also would suggest you re-check the title. I think it's supposed to be "Their" love as opposed to "There" love.

endless captivation in a winding plot, nicely done!
