curse of the corpse's bride

[Lee Berta]

with fear I hurried to your bed
your murderers awaited me
I hear they burried just your head
and let the body out to see

one day, one day, we'll rise again
no sacrifice was lost in vain
my dearest love was slain in pain
I curse the lands of the bloody stain

along with me our sons survived
our daughters waving future dreams
the morning birds have just arrived
there will be songs, no grief, no screams

one day, one night, we'll see again
no barren battlefield there is
my love, my heart was lost in time
still waiting for your tender kiss

betrayed we open up our eyes
the devil rode beside the knights
but morrow is the night's advice
the corpse's bride steps into light

our hour comes, I see it clear
I hear, you're near and far from fear
one day is now and yet and here
no tear to shed, just let it tear

This poem has a terrific flow. And like so many poems here, it has remained uncommented until now. A real shame. You follow the structure of a classic ballad and draw the reader right into the action with your imagery. I really enjoyed reading your poem. Greetings from Schreibfan
