Description
So lonely is the night,
Now that you have left my loving sight.
I waited for you in this house so cold,
Never realizing that I was growing old.
I waited for you both day and night,
a candle in the window to give you light.
It cast a glow into the gloom,
whilst I sat lonely in my room.
My body grew weaker o’er the years,
Worn out by endless futile tears.
Until one day my soul took flight,
Up to a glorious golden light.
Heaven was Hell without you there,
Where are you my love, Oh where! Oh where?
So now I wait in this house so cold
Knowing that I will never grow old.
I will wait until once more,
I hear you gently tapping on my door
Only then will my heart be light
Alas ‘til then.
So lonely is the night.
Sylvia Marriott.
Well that was my attempt at a bit of poetry:-)
The beautiful ghost photo was from
http://mjranum-stock.deviantart.com/
and the equally beautiful background is from capelito.
Plait was added by me using PS hair brushes.
Thanks for taking a peek and if you are kind enough to leave a comment and BIG FAT THANX for that too:-)
Luv ya!
Hugs
Sylvia

Fantastic image and beautiful render. excellent work!!
Very beautiful image and a wonderful poem :) Great work!!
Your gift for words never ceases to amaze me and it is so wonderful to see you growing in confidence with the written word in every image. Stepping out into poetry is a brave new step and you carry it off with spark and passion; it is hard to believe that is your first attempt. The image is in itself gracious and moving and had the strengtth to stand alone even without such a poem to support it.
Beautiful image and poem!!
Very gorgeous - if melancholic - scene and poem. Wonderful work!
