Marry me, Your Dead Bride

by LadyPearl   Nov 5, 2006


Find me in the bushes
Far off to the east
Behind a little altar
cast inside a church

Once upon a day
A girl was wearing white
with soft petals on her head
Searching through the night

Searching for the lost
Searching for her soul
Searching through her dreams
Where you left her all alone

She was still wearing
The ruby crested ring
She was still seeing
those tower bells swing

Her adoration true
as were her love to you
She already took the step
It was you who backed through

A thousand eyes watched
In silence they waited
He winced at the words
Before he destroyed fate

You never said good-bye
You never explained why
You said no and ran away
While here I sleep to die

Find me in the bushes
Far off to the east
Behind a little altar
Quilted with my veins

    Although the rhyme scheme throws the flow a bit this was still a good write. The picture of disappointment and bleak hope you paint is wonderful.
    Good job.

    Well, this was a really interesting poem. I've always wanted to write about a dead bride. It was really hard grasping the rhyme scheme of this poem, one minute it doesn't rhyme, then two lines rhyme, then all, then three of them. It was a bit wacky, but the flow still kept this poem strong.

    The mystery on the poem makes
    it a thought provoking piece.

    I imagined this poem a bit differently..but it was still very nice...the rhyme scheme is a bit random..but other than that its very creative and sad...it gives you the feeling of a girl in love getting her heart crushed in front of everyone..and she still waits for him to come back..its a very good idea and i liked it a lot:)
