The Mourning Bride
Dark tolls of cathedral bells,
ring against the midnight spells.
wilted roses in velvet gardens,
where moonlit sorrow slowly darkens.
Candles dripping with haunting fragrance,
a bride still chained to solemn patience.
gathering dust where guests once stood,
her tears now stain the rotting wood.
No footsteps echoed down the aisle,
her once gleaming heart went into exile.
blackened tears flowed from her eclipsed eyes,
staining white silk with midnight dyes.
shrieking sounds began tearing the skies.
while shadows danced beneath her cries.
Read the rest of the poem Show less
the world around her falls apart,
she guards the ruins of her heart.
Through seasons changed, centuries passed,
she never wandered away from the past.
not withering like the flowers outside,
one final candle flickered at her side.
Distant footsteps crept along the pathway,
a forsaken soul returned from fate’s decay.
to the mourning bride who still awaits,
two haunted hearts bound by twisted fates.
She lifts her gaze in a moment’s disbelief,
his hollow eyes reflected her grief.
no words spoken, yet silence speaks,
stories foretold of the woman he seeks.
the shadows stirred, a mother weeps,
as fate fulfills the vow it keeps.
the bells fell silent, the altar bled to dust,
at last her heart unbarred its trust.

"This poem intrigued me. I enjoyed it very much. The most powerful lines for me where... "and love, once bright with certainty dissolved into a word too weak." Such power and heartbreak! Well Done! I hope to see you visi…" -

About Me
About me
I write narrative poetry where love becomes legend.
My poems weave together gothic romance, myth, fantasy, and timeless devotion, inviting readers into forgotten kingdoms, moonlit gardens, celestial skies, and worlds where every story is driven by the search for something greater than ourselves.
At the heart of every poem lies the same belief: even through darkness, longing, and impossible odds, the deepest connections are the ones that truly endure.
Every poem is a journey.
Every world has a story.
Every heart is searching for home.
