The porcelain tiles,
reflect the light
from the candles lit up.
The fragrance of
Lavender and Rose
hang in the air.
The Rose petals scattered,
float in the ceramic tub
in Crimson glory.
A scene so romantic,
yet so horrific,
As Dona Amelia
lays cold,
under the scented petals,
and tinted aqua,
dispelled into the gloom,
by the man she loved.

This is superb, I definitely felt the "good" and the "bad" that candles can symbolize shining through here.
Thankyou so much Rocky! I am glad you like it!
From a seemingly romantic mood to one of horror, in one fell swoop! Poor Dona Amelia! A crime of passion it would seem. And the candles burn serenely on. Well penned, dear poet!
Thankyou so much! I really appreciate it!
Good write Judy.
Thankyou so much for your kind comment!
From passion to crime, you beautifully take us to the scene with your imagery. Indeed candlelight can either be taken with romance or horror, a matter of perspective. Just like everything else in the world, there's evil just like the good. You bring us a very important message, though mostly forgotten, dear Judy. Great job!
Thankyou so much for your lovely comment dear Aradhya! I really appreciate it
A beautiful imagery you wove through
Striking the reader from romance to thriller
Very enjoyable dear poetess….
I am glad you enjoyed it! I really appreciate it 😊
Your poem has such a wonderful gothic quality to it. I can envision castles, dark corridors, scenes illuminated eerily by candlelight, passion, the works. Great from the beautiful setting of the beginning to the horror of the end.
Thankyou so much 😊 I really appreciate it!
Hi JudyStella, this is really good, from romance to the macabre in such a short distance! Poor Donna Amelia, not the evening she planned! Well written and well put.
Thankyou so much😊 I am glad you like it!
Scenes coming real as I read your poem. So good.
Thankyou so much Rozina 😊 I really appreciate it!
That's really good.
Thankyou so much 🥰
This gave me goosebumps! I loved using "crimson" to describe the flowers, struck me as a type of foreshadowing since I usually hear that word used when talking about blood. Loved this whole poem!
Thankyou so much😊 I am glad you noticed it!
Wow! You've done it again! Your poems are always so well written. How the romantic scenery turned into a crime scene was amazing 😉...i really liked reading it.
Thankyou so much! I am glad you like it😊
