The Moon Before The Full Moon (A Gothic Fable)
Though the lady by the lake lies still as a cold winter stone
On her wedding date she quickens, but find herself alone
A restless storm she becomes, raging with an insatiable fire
Rising from the autumn ground; a Phoenix from her pyre
.
Though the lady by the lake can never open her eyes
With one smile she puts back the blue in his gray skies
No stranger to the wind, the moon, and the starry night
He sights the clustering of fireflies, foretelling her sight
.
Though the lady by the lake carries the smell of a tomb
Ferociously she inhales the fragrance of her groom
Blushing in white linen, so comely she starts blooming
And when he kisses her lips, her continence perfumes
.
Though the lady by the lake has only silence to expel
Her touch is more potent than any spoken love spell
Mellifluous sounds resonant sweeter than honey wine
stirring the waves blushing the moon, as lovers entwine

I don't recall what it's called by having sex with the dead but to each their own lol great pen though I totally love your work!
thanks for comment, PoetessDarkly, in the poem she 'quickens' or comes to life on her wedding date, for one day only, she's dead on all other days, lol....Gothic tales for reason fascinate me, but I will try to do better job at explaining them, cheers, my friend
Dude!!..... your ability to wield humor in the midst of storytelling ......reminds me of Samuel Clemens.....or Like Escher's drawings....... there's a clever intermingling of the ability to call upon all of your knowledge to conceptualize, amuse and move a fable forward (at least in this instance) toward the ultimate finished product which is always uniquely original...... it's what I like most about your writing......" you know what you're doing!!"........ or at least it appears that way........ but like Escher's drawings it leaves you scratching your head and smiling at the same time!! (lol).......VERY cool stuff bro!!...... Love the metaphysical aspect going on here...... but I can see how PoetessDarkly caught the necrophilia part of this protruding!! (LOL!)........ALL STARS.... hugs-n-high fives!!.......T xo
hey T, lol, I thought I knew what I was doing, but the word 'quicken' should not have been given so much responsibility on my part, lol....yeah necrophilia can easily be applied here, lol...but the bride comes alive or quickens but finds herself alone on her wedding date; only on that date... poor communication on my part, I have a lot to lean about writing this kind of work, and thanks for saying all that, I really like Clemens, your knowledge is amazing my brother, I learn a lot from what you say....cheers, and go Steelers!! lol, i'll be cheering for the Cowboys as well, talk soon
Wow :-D... Can I get an autograph??? Lol. This is beautifully written Chris :-). I'm getting activated by your intelligent writing. You a born writer I tell you that my friend. #hugs
Lol, thanks a million, B, I hope you posted something for me to read today...and you are waaaay too kind, bye the way, but I like encouragement, I am way too critical of my work, I'm getting a little better at poetry but I still write a litte too linear in my opinion, believe me I have a lot to learn about this stuff, cheers
Chris i agree with B you are a talented writer, you tell the story in so little words where as i have to draw the story out to make it engaging lovely write my friend.
cheers jeff
