Withered Heights

This poem delves into the emotional turmoil of a woman torn between love and grief. Her heart, divided into two pieces, battles internally, each piece representing intense emotions that ultimately lead to her downfall. Inspired by themes of conflict and reconciliation, the poem captures her soul's plea for peace before her tragic farewell, reminiscent of "Wuthering Heights." The poem concludes with her misunderstood ascent to an eternal, serene afterlife.

 

 

 

And the battles they had with each other, eventually took her away,

 For her soul could not bear a pain so deep and great. 

It tore her heart into two pieces, 

Two pieces that fought with each other, 

Each besting the other, 

Each giving up too, 

Each much loving, 

Each fighting the other too 

The bigger piece often superseded his smaller companion, 

A piece had grief of how much it was loved before, 

The other couldn’t fathom that it was loved more 

 

And then, she died slowly pleading to them both 

Reconcile! 

Reconcile! 

Screamed her soul 

Lest, they hindered 

Pondered

And too late, 

She said goodbye like ‘Cathy’. 

Misunderstood and in pain, 

She became, 

A mistress of heaven! 

Adieu Adieu

This has got to be one of the most beautiful poems I've read. This depicts Catherine's turmoil so well. You are not just talented M.Sultan you are one very special blessed human being who has achieved an angelic paradigm.
