Unusual poem as it says she is "jilted" and then says her beloved is dead. If he died--that's not "jilted." She seems to regret ever meeting him, and then kills herself to be with him. The words have a soft flow--but the ideas seem disjointed.

Another compelling post about everlasting love. Your end rhymes were perfect. Yes...they will be united, for it is written in several places in the Bible that "To be absent form the body is to be present with the Lord.

Thank you for sharing it, I truly enjoyed reading it.

Nan:))

So sad, it seems she cut her wrists to be with him. Another well written poem, Meia, deep, dark, and romantic too. Excellent rhyming, the flow was as smooth as always. Well done, my friend. :) Sandra xx

    Yes, she did. For some reason a lot of people have thought of this a necrophilia poem when actually it is about a very real love affair, she was jilted at the altar by a man she met at the funeral of his wife. She nursed him back to life and love only to be jilted on the wedding day. She lies on his grave and slits her wrists, and as she dies she sees his ghost drifting through the mist towards her. Thankyou so much for the lovely and very kind review kindest regards Meia :)

She will never give up on the love she knows. A composition of poetic stanza full of pain and regret balanced with the death. Well done. Blessings, Ella

I really liked your rhyming of say, way, nay. Nay is a word you don't read that much anymore and it is a very poetic word to say the least. This poem is full of high emotions and was very well-written. Keep up the good poetry and I will keep on reading it... John

Hi Meia - This is a real Gothic story poem, very well written and in true fashion of this type of poem, it has a sad ending. Gorgeous picture! And of course, she decides to join her ghost lover on the 'other' side. Very dramatic and well told. (I also come from the North East pet, LOL) Regards Dorothy

Interesting, I was had a significant other who accused me of stroking her like a pet, anyway I enjoyed reading your work and it's intriguing.
I'm not much of a critic, so I won't be helpful in giving you advice.

I wish you well as poet.

This is a marvelous story told in lovely poetic form. The rhyme and meter are well executed throughout. I would have to say she fell in love with a ghost and chose to meet him rather than live. Sadly, they will live out eternity betwixt and between most likely sigh. Well done and I thank you very much for sharing it.

A very well-written heartfelt poem. Of a love went wrong on the wedding day left alone. Each goes their own way, they may meet again in the afterlife.
