The crowds can't take the memories away
Of times before he came into her life;
Remembering the girl who used to play,
Before she learnt the game of being wife;
And it's a joyless role to entertain
A spouse who begs and simply can't atone
For torrid nights. She longed for once again
The childhood bed and lamp - she would have flown
To mother, trying on another dress,
Prepared to be the queen of that night's ball;
And father with the goodnight kiss: his stress
On sleep and rest and dreams, which she'll recall
Now it is over and all that remains
Are crowds and execration and bloodstains.

LadyGenevieveabout 13 years agowith images to which so many can relate. As always, impressive.
Angelineabout 13 years agoit's full of specific images and I like the way you flow sentences across lines. I think that always makes a form poem more interesting and readable.
