- Rambling -

       It requires magical thinking
       to put things in the right way
       Back then there was never a race against the clock
       An evaporated history, the core of the truth
       As bits of humor, from the stately wedding
       No matter how wild the story was
       not all myths were debunked

       The groom Maximus died on the wedding night
       his young wife was still a virgin
       He wanted to rise above his own mortality
       and never left this house
       The abandoned stately property became haunted 
       Rumors are telling,
       that he is still looking for his attractive maiden

Jennifer Proxenos Date: 2/23/2024 8:47:00 PM This poem has a definite ring of haunting distracting silence which is beautiful as much as it is melancholy for these two lovers who are separated by death on their first night of their marriage the groom rising above mortality still looking for his lovely bride. So well penned A.nne-Lise. Hugs and love Jennifer Login to Reply

Joe Dimino Date: 2/18/2024 8:36:00 AM Lovely, haunting love story, transcending time and dimensions. Maybe someday they will have a second encounter -- I believe true love has permanency. Death but a doorway...to another room...maybe a mansion entrance. Blessings. Login to Reply

Silent One Date: 2/17/2024 9:44:00 AM Hey Anne-Lise... I love how your poem invites readers to contemplate the intersection of myth and reality, the passage of time, and the enduring power of storytelling to shape our understanding of the world around us. It prompts reflection on the ways in which we construct narratives to make sense of our lives and the mysteries that lie beyond our grasp. Login to Reply
