- 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 February 23, 2024 at 8:47 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

The narrative of the ill-fated lovers is utterly captivating, drawing the reader in with its haunting beauty. The accompanying picture complements the tale perfectly, adding to its overall allure.

Valsa George February 19, 2024 at 5:14 AM A beautiful and haunting legend. The image of the haunted castle and the picture of the groom visiting the castle in search of his bride are so touching. Beautiful poem dear Anne. Love and hugs !

Jerry Brotherton February 19, 2024 at 3:31 AM A chilling tale, Anne-Lise. A sad ending, to think he still walks the halls looking for his lost love. Fantastic imagery and so well written. Have a wonderful day, my friend.

Andrea Dietrich February 18, 2024 at 10:37 PM Great ending on this one. I was thinking the title could be rundown but I can get the rambling part as well

Victor Buhagiar February 18, 2024 at 9:19 AM Sad but as a poem it is brilliant. Such a ghost story. Best for a win.

Joseph P. DiMino February 18, 2024 at 8:36 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.

Evelyn Judy Buehler February 17, 2024 at 6:01 PM Your story of the ill fated lovers is captivating, Anne-Lise. The picture is a fine companion to a tale beautifully composed and itself, haunting. hugs :)

Jay Narain February 17, 2024 at 10:45 AM Great haunting tale and longing for love.

Silent One February 17, 2024 at 9:44 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.

Joseph May February 17, 2024 at 9:25 AM You describe the sequence of events well, which leads to a haunted tale, Very nicely done Anne, hugs

Duke Beaufort February 17, 2024 at 8:16 AM An interesting story and picture. I love stories like this about people who are dead and still seek something. It adds a tinge of sadness to an unfulfilled life. You have a wonderful imagination to compose something like this.
