Interwined Souls
Their once was a man who loved to paint,
Whose soul was clear, and lived as a saint,
Who met a pretty young girl,
Who put his heart in a whirl.
BR>
She became the centerpiece of his art,
Where their love began to start
Months later they were going to wed,
But the lady died instead.
BR>
"She's gone, she's dead!" His dearest love.
Gone to heaven in the sky above,
The young man fell in deep dispair.
Thus shows that life isn't fair.
BR>
While the young lady eternally slept,
The young painter cried and wept.
"I must bring her back to me!"
The poor man wouldn't let it be.
BR>
He found himself walking on a trail,
And saw a figure, whose deathly pale.
The figure who's eyes were blood red,
And skin like that of the walking dead.
BR>
His cold fingers corressed the man's face,
An uncomfortable, but even pace.
"Too bad, she's up in the clouds above."
"You know her, my lady love?"
BR>
"I saw that look in your eye,
The look of a man who wants to die."
"But I can bring her back, you see,
"If you do something for me."
BR>
"What do you wish! Name your toll."
"All I want, is your soul."
"If you bring my dear to me,
Then my soul, will let me be."
BR>
He turned to the man with a wicked smile,
Who's eyes were cold, and his mind was vile.
A beam of light stabbed his heart.
The sensation nearly pulled him apart.
BR>
"Behold sir, your lady is here,
She stands, your lovely dear!"
"Oh, can it be! Let me touch your face!
Who's beauty is of walking grace!"
BR>
"Darling it has been so long,
Since I've heard your voice of song."
"My dearest man, lovely heart,
We shall never be apart."
BR>
They walked away hand in hand.
Their shoes disturbed the trail of sand.
They lived together for many years,
Very happy and without fear.
BR>
Soon the man began to fall ill.
He tried liquid, salve and pill.
Nothing seemed to work that day.
Soon the man passed away.
BR>
He awoke in a place of dire,
Quickly lit upon consuming fire.
A familiar face came into play,
"It's time now, for you to pay."
BR>
The figure walked, and raised his voice,
"Believe me sir, you have no choice."
"What do you want, I'm not well."
"Indeed sir, you're in Hell."
BR>
The man's eyes were big and wide.
His body was slumped to the side.
"Forgive me fool, I must go."
"You cannot escape your place of woe."
BR>
"Hmm, someone needs me, to give you life."
"Someone you know...It's your wife."
