Graying

This is written with a woman's emotions taken into account. I'm 100% straight. >_>

Darkness looms overhead

As the air freezes my spine

Green withers to gray

What is strange is more so divine

 

Redder than a rose bush

I sit waiting for your stare

Black, lifeless lips

Quench this maiden mare

 

It has been a long time since I saw you last

Fonder, my frozen heart grew true

Torn asunder in solitary

I never forgot young love with you.

 

We watched the sun set many times

On an undead chariot ride

You whisper your sweet nothings

And I easily became hell's bride

 

Fondness changes in time,

In despair, to hatred and anger

Long distance love is deadly hard

Dead love is murder

One word: Powerful. What more is there to say. I mean, it's beyond great. It's just powerful. It reminds me of Demon Lover we read in English.

A well written poem with good rhythm. Very well painted words and insightful. I did enjoy your poem

I love this poem! Normally, I try to steer away from poems, because each person gets something different out of them, but...
Wow. That's all I can say. You are definitely gifted in the art of poetry.
