    Poem Commentary

    This is a poem I wrote about the fictional love of two characters in the classic novel Wuthering Heights. )

    Heathcliff and Cathy had true love, but her selfishness and his evil got in between them and they never got their chance at blissful happiness. Their love was consuming, Cathy died, leaving Heathcliff alone, with only Cathy's spirit to keep him going from one day to the next. Eventually he dies. The villagers from the novel swear they saw their ghosts haunting the Moors.

    Lovely story if you haven't read it or seen the movie you should.
    I recommend Wuthering Heights(Masterpiece Theater 2009) :]





     

    A Wuthering Heights Poem

     Cathy,
    Loving you is my personal hell,
    And yet I still fell...
    After your burial,
    Everything else became trivial.
    Revenge is my constant distraction,
    To forget our previous infraction.
    All our personal evils got in the way,
    Now we'll never have our day.
    At the moors I will be yours,
    Where the wind blows outdoors.
    Our spirits will roam together,
    Where our love will last forever.

    -Heathcliff
