    Thanks Jack. I appreciate your comments and encouraging rating. It was a difficult task to express such feelings without being excessively morbid. Best wishes and regards.

I will give this five stars, though it could be a four star write. It is difficult to determine errant grammar from poetic license. Allow me to show you a few examples:

"Then in one fateful day, all disappeared, you were gone. Should be "on one fateful day..."

"Without the tress, without a good byes, like mortals would." The words "a good byes" is contradictory. "a" indicates singular, "byes" indicates plural. Should be either "a good-bye" (please not the hyphen), or, drop the "a" --- "without good-byes..."

"Distraught, for months and end, in searche of your place," Search is misspelled - drop the last "e."

"I am pushing my days to the ultimate vault; a walking corps." The word "corps" should be "corpse."

    Thanks for your valuable help. I am realizing that with age, my language skills are deteriorating and eyes are not catching obvious errors caused by changing phrases such as the 'in' left over from earlier phrase when I made changes in the poem. Same with the extra 'e'. I appreciate your assistance in this quarter. Thanks for your generous rating. I am editing the poem. Best regards and wishes.

It seems so sad that these memories would come to one who is getting ready to leave their earthly body. I would hope it is the good memories that gather round me as I lay on my death bed. The story told within the lines of the poem is a good one, but some of the wording doesn't quite fit, and it seems words have been forced to fit into the pattern,
Thank you for sharing,

This is a very good story in a poem but a bit long-winded for me. It also seemed a bit flat in the middle. It reminded me of a play of long ago in a far off land. Thank you for sharing.

    Indeed it is a long poem but that is the only way I could shape it to make a poem rather than a prose. I wonder if you could share the name of the play you mentioned. I appreciate your comments and rating. Thanks. My best wishes and regards.

    I appreciate your comment and glad that message I wished would come through di come out in the poem. I struggled with the thoughts and had to write on a paper two different versions of the same theme. My best regards and wishes.

Here the poet handles the feelings towards betrayed love and there is resurrection of a lost lover, allegorical treat fits in with that of Jesus, I liked and enjoyed the free flow of thoughts in imagery and I can relate to the facts and feelings and emotions in different perspectives.

    You are on the mark about the life of Jesus. His life inspires me in many ways. For a long time I struggled with the emotions and eventually became peaceful and forgiving. Many thanks for sharing your thoughts. Please visit my profile and read other poems in the Anthology - the Random Reflections. Best regards and wishes.

I'm glad it ended like it should. For a while I was afraid something awful would happen when he opened that grave, which of course I knew he would. In XIII, amber should be ember.

    Thanks Cindy. I am losing the ability to spell and Spell Check does not catch such errors. Any suggestions for improving are most welcome. I am editing that. Thanks for your encouraging comments. Best wishes and regards.
