Beloved of Faith

Emerald sparkling eyes

Chestnut curls adorn the top of her head,

Down to the middle of her back

Ruby red lips

Blushing rose cheeks

Jasmin scented skin

Head held high as she walks on by

Wanted by all who saw her

Her beauty called to many

A picture of perfection

But her heart belonged to only one

She walked into the grave yard

Knelt down at the headstone

That read

Beloved of Faith

She swallowed the pills and said

Honey I’ll see you real soon

[Hi]

I like the build here and the seeming contrast of devotion in a 'wanted' women. Thanks.

Thanks for reading and commenting. I really tried to get out of my comfort zone with this piece. I tend to just write a lot of romance mushy stuff so I wanted something different. I appreciate your comment. ~Shannan

Your welcome I write many different thought up senerios myself but mostly been posting poems written to my wife while courting and about my Lord and Savior

[loverofpoetry7]

Oh that's great. I love writing about our Lord and Savior. I have mostly happy romance and inspirational poems, so I was trying to go for something a little different than my usual.
