Elise(Dramatic Workshop Part Two)

Alise: What then shall I leave for you
when I am dead

Michael: The pillow beneath your lovely head
for it holds the essence of your tears
the lingering fragrance of your hair

Alise: Then take it now before I am gone
my plan is for my soul to go on

Michael: Do not speak of such horrid things
what would you like me to do with your rings

Alsie: Give them to your new love to be
from this moment on
I set you free

Michael: I scoff at your depraved sense of wit
you act as if I don't give a sh.......

Alise: How long have I listened to all of your lies
even calling them alibis

Michael:Then will you haunt me from your grave
tell me now for your blood do I crave

Alise:And there it is
I knew all along in the living world you do not belong

Michael:But what is this?
A cross and a stake

Alise: Yes and it is your everlasting life
I now take

* and with those last words she drives the stake into his heart

I believe I felt that stake going in at the end! You trapped a moment of time between these two characters that pretty much sums up their relationship to one another! That in itself is an achievement to be proud of!

Well, number one... it is dramatic verse. A play format told in a poetic form, but...
holy shit.
I will confess to being caught completely off guard. It just sort of rolled down hill in a direction unexpected and left me shaking my head.
This is really kind of cool.
It needs to be longer.
That's all I suggest...
more.

You have captured a very dramatic moment in the life of a couple and narrated it in poetic verses which held me captive as the drama unfolded with an anti climax at the end. I would disagree with the suggestion to make it longer. I feel it has all the elements of a good drama beginning with a light sentimental conversation and concluding with an anticlimax of sorts.....

I loved the ending but if the title is the name of the vampire slayer, then you have misspelled it.Other than that, its a real pleasure to read this one.

(and I could be wrong) that it refers to Beethoven's young protégé. Come back?
