Suffering from dementia is hard – for the patient and for their family as well. I know a woman who stood by her mentally disturbed husband strong as a rock. She told me, ‘I know who he is at his core, that’s enough for me!
Thank you so much for reading and writing such a kind comment, ‘ dear Peter!

I love this piece. You create an excellent and interesting metaphor and you carry it through from beginning to end.
It really works and we feel the relationship between the poem’s subject and the piano.
nicely done, Fia.

Fia this was smoking. I love piano music and this is one of the most creative poems on seduction of a pianist I have read. I felt the flame of his helplessness because her womanly powers. Sizzling.

Spooky, Tim.
I do like this a lot. Reminds me of a song by Joan Baez called “Long Black Veil”–I imagine you can find it online.
You give us the setting, providing atmosphere with your description.

I’ve heard the song in the past. It’s a good one and I believe it’s been covered by many others. Thanks for the comment, J. 🙂

I do love the ambience of graveyards Tim. A haunting tale which sent a little shiver up my spine. I also know the song Jacob refers to by Joan Baez. I am a huge fan of hers.

This is a great and chilling story. The buildup is perfect, from the quiet snow to the sudden disappearance, and the detail of the hat on the monument is a fantastic touch.
I may not know Eva Longstreet, but in life and now in death, she sure knows how to make an entrance and leave an impression.
Great write Tim

Yes cemetery loved it (your poem ) but not necessarily the place !
I’m not afraid of ghosts I know they exist. I feel they can’t hurt usLoved your descriptives of the mentioned Eva. Felt romantic almost! And I wonder if she was meeting her lover or someone a bit cold for a romp in the snow ⛄️
Loved the write

Hi Tim!
We have a back building at work that is right beside a graveyard. There are always internet issues down there!
We all believe it must be due to spiritual activity.
But it sucks when the internet drops and you haven’t saved the file yet! GrrrThis write is perfect for the season. Makes me want to try a ghost tour. lol

Thanks so much for the comment, Adel. And good luck on that tour. Perhaps you’ll run into a ghost or two. :0
