Dead Woman

Dead Woman

A Poem by SWANN

Command thou love a mystery

Regardless of the history

For thou shall rain, and love will remain

But the ocean is deeper, it pops through her vain.

 

The ocean is freedom, as it is so mystique

But her veins still shiver from the thought of what may lay beneath.

Those sparkly eyes, drop tears on her breasts.

She never, ever thought of death.

 

It was to be expected, bad news arrive fast.

I knew of her drowning, before she even left the house.

I clutched to her tightly, before she forever left

But nothing could stop a dreaming introvert.

 

Beauty has so many faces; it even lays them on the dead.

A beautiful young woman, lifeless lying in the hospital bed.

Not even the violet glaze of her lips could distract from her physique

I fell in love with her again, with her cold and naked skin.

 

Sad though, never again did I dream

Every time I closed my eyes, I felt like she was telling me

"I gave my life to the ocean, so find me there, find me there…"

But I knew I couldn't. Unlike her, I have thought of death.

 

Men always knew that women could drive them mad.

But it wasn't her death; it was her beauty that made my mind collapse.

I came to the ocean, as gloom as the storm

I opened my arms, and wished to be torn.

 

I closed my eyes, and my darling appeared

So pretty, and ready to take me, she whispered

"Oh darling, love doesn't die with people, oh darling, you must understand,

If you come with me now, your head will clear, if not, you'll forever wish to be dead."

 

Her sweet murmur, the smell of the salty wind

All got to me. I couldn't breath.

I stepped towards the edge of sand

My mind was clear. To her I bowed.
