Death to the undying love

A love desired, unknown, found then lost. The pain is derived from realizing love, Love too late, for she cannot stay. She could never stay...

Leagues away the heart still yearns,

and every night to the moon, eyes turn.

To remember a pact from long ago,
Though separated, the heart still grows.

So far away and yet still near.
His heart grows fonder every year.
Until a dream comes at last,

To tell him that the wait has passed.

And though their love may flourish and grow
Dark days were drawn long ago.
For no love could pierce the maiden fair,

A beast awaits him in her lair.

Though she knows not what fate has drawn,
To the beasts lair she has willingly trodden.
To claim her own from long ago,

She knows not that this means to be alone.

A nice poem and almost crafted to perfection.............Flawless writing and beautiful stanzas and I could not find any error...... although you seem to me inspired by the victorian poets and your poem reflects towards that era ...............Beautiful

Such a wonderfully enjoyable poem. I wish everyday had a poem like this one, but alas it does not. If I could make an observation: stanza 8# says past (like in the past), but I think you meant passed (like it has passed). I hope to read more poems like this. Thank you for creating such a beautiful poem. :)

[Clairvoyant]

Oh yes, you are quite correct. I did mean passed. I was home sick when I wrote this poem yesterday so please forgive me!! And thank you for noticing, I need to learn to be more aware as I am writing. I am also very happy that you enjoyed it.

This is very tragic and very romantic. And I love it; the story, the emotions, and the tragedy. Remarkable! :)
