Constance La France Poet Verse

Picture Perfect

  

A Violet by a moss stone,
   Half hidden from the eyes !

                               William Wordsworth
                                (The Lost Love)

_________________________

I am a girl a little bit Gothic and so ethereal,
     Within a folded rose I hide myself from the world;
My ebony hair a veil to view the horror that I perceive,
              I peer beyond my velvet petals to find beauty.
 
I cannot speak of my pain to those who care,
     Choosing to hide my feelings behind a crafted mask;
And within my perfect rose I dream and dream and dream,
               My visions take me again and again to this place.

Above a full moon dances with billowing clouds,
    The ornate gate creaks as I push it to enter again;
A winding road engraved upon my mind beckons to me,
                I glide pass reaching gnarled trees.

Angel statues do not comfort me from my sadness,
    The rows and rows of tombs an eternal maze of stone;
In the misty cemetery I drift beautifully ethereal,
                 Until I hear the first bird song.
