The darker side of love (Poe style) |
This is my most recent English 10 homework. My teacher wanted us to either write a pome(30 lines or more) or a story(50 sentences or more) like Edgar Alan Poe, this is what I came up with. I hope you like it. Vanished in to the Mist A man standing on a hill looking over the land Was gently staring at his man. As the scent of blood lingered on the mist This forgotten soul would not be missed. Murdered, he was in a rage of anger However by no ordinary stranger. His killer was his own beating heart For the sight of her ripped him apart. Memories filled his head Then he remembered catching her in bed. His eyes flashed looking at the body laying there To seek who it was he did not dare. By what means did he get a top that hill Just then he began to feel ill. The man fell to the ground gasping for air He knew this wasn’t fair. The fault was not his own, So why wasn’t he at home? She was the one that betrayed Why did she choose him to stay? He looked up at the endless black hole above him Everything was now looking dim. The stars now fading in the blackened sky Understanding that her love was just a lie. A hand gun still reeking of hatred lay near Then suddenly a thought he feared Did he kill this now lifeless person? Now his breathing worsening. Just then lightning flashed Towards the body his eyes dashed. He saw neither his love nor her lover He began to stand and over the body he hovered. The body that lay before him Was none other then him. He remembered none in strife The taking of his own life For it became too hard for him to go on For his love he did not want to long Knowing her love was lost He ended it despite all cost The man that was standing on the hill Then shortly vanished in to the mist And was surely always missed. |
