Rigor Mortis is a Latin phrase, literally translated as Rigor "Stiffness" and Mortis"Of Death".

This is a Gothic Romance poem I wrote in about 15 minutes without stopping, just a pure stream of conscious thought. It's basically about this man, who finds his lover has just died, and in a fit of ecstatic grief has a series of hallucinations that she returns to him to relive the days he thought were lost.

I found this to be quite raw and powerful, especially in regards to the man's love, loyalty and commitment to his lover. No matter what anyone says I'm very proud of this work.

Death is inevitable but the effects vary from person to person depending who has died and how they were known, death of a loved one can break you in many different ways and grief is painful in so many different levels. So this seems very raw in emotion and rather accurate in it's response to the death, which is always tricky to get right fully but you've made it work so very realistically...well done.
