She has lost all feeling, all words,
only smiles at the image of her own requiem;
praying to God that she too one day will gather
with the seraphs in Heaven.
Overwhelmed with thoughts of her own demise,
her loveless soul cries itself to sleep,
and dreams of things tragedienne.
She awakes at mid-night to a tap on her bedchamber door
like a sylph out of bed in hopes it might be her long lost amour.
Nothing, no one, not a soul in months, past eight.
Forlorn, she stands in the doorway, a silhouette at the garden gate!
She calls, it is her sweet Grandmother long past away,
Running towards the garden to beg her not to leave
she stumbles upon a gravestone where her Grandmother lay.
Forgotten her family slept here in the efflorescent rose garden
She dusted off each grave,
reading each name from her Mother to Grandfather,
and a gravestone unknown, daintily dusting the cold
imbedded marble was the name of InishmeeLa O'Martin
I'm going to enter this one into some crazy contest for the second time, anybody have any ideas on how to improve it, I would really love some biased opinions? Thanx
