Serenity, I fell to sleep,
And hid behind a deeper dark
That fills the chambers of my chest
And slows my bloody racing heart.
Then foolishness, I dared to dream
Though not of clockwork silver screen
Nor movie stars or speeding cars
I dreamt I was below the stars,
And there you were and there was I
With grass below and light above
Our lamp the spreading summer sky.
So need I even speak of love?
Or shall I only sally on
With baubels here and trinkets there
The way your eyes closed in the night
The shapes my hands wove in your hair?
I woke to pearly winter light
And found no shred of comfort there.

I love this poem. The rhyme scheme is off, but somehow it works perfectly. I love the flow of the words and stanzas.
Fabulous work! :clap:

It's been so long that I had forgotten how brilliant you are...

And is 'sally' a British thing, or just archaic?

"What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset." Crowfoot, Blackfoot warrior and orator 1830 - 1890

Be strong and courageous, and do the work. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you.

This has such a classical feel to it. I love the rhythm and the imagery is beautiful.

you call this 'odd'?! no way, unconventional maybe lol but this is just perfect. :love: almost has a shakespearean feel to it, although it isn't in pentameter

I am fairly sure I don't know how to write pentameter, I have never really spoken to someone face to face who can
