Seeing her sleeping, Walt got out of bed.
He knew she was cheating on him anew.
The lover meant nothing, that's what she said.
Elisa was unaware that he knew.

It was the letter he found that damned her.
The letter spoke of a forbidden love.
When Walt found it, madness began to stir.
The answer hit like a bolt from above.

He laid his sharpest blade against her throat.
Whispering softly, Walt said, "Elisa?"
With smiling face, he says, "I read the note."
Slicing with the knife, he bends to kiss her.

Poor Walt, for killing his wife on a whim.
He didn't know it was written for him.

Dream, as you know, I truly love this piece! I just wish the ending didn't sink in my heart!

How frightful, and sad, yet very moving.

This is well written but so warped. I beg you to apply your obvious talent to the other side of the coin....

While well written, I find the subject disturbing. Your "mythical" type poetry is much better than this. You give the impression, since it's the woman who gets killed in your sonnets, that you do not respect women. This can't be true as you have also done a tribute to the women here. This is just my opinion.

Don't worry, the odds are that I will not write another, for this forum anyway.

Hey is it not funny how the human mind is quick to jump to conclusions. If we all would learn how to ask questions first then "kill" later the world would be a better place. lol...........


The world without love grows cold....

Exactly the point of this piece! Someone notices it at least.

Ouch! Geez.... couldn't you have asked who that note was for? And all the while, she was hoping he didn't find the other one.... good grief ~~

Interesting piece, m'friend.

Such a great piece. So scary, yet it is that way because it is real, and it happens.
