Dreaming Me

No sun & nowhere to set
As bright as the night will ever get
Horizons of skin
I'm inside looking in
Awakened & taken in deep
To the pantheon of my sleep
I can't help but envy
The dreaming me

WiresTiny wires inside my brain
Connecting thoughts that can't be seen,
And all the things I've never said
Are resonating in my head.

Hopes and dreams all fade away
Forming clouds of bitter gray.
The blacks and whites of good and bad
Don't possess the clarity they once had.

If I'm to clear these fields of doubt,
What do I keep or do without?
Nothing's sure as I collapse.
How long is this supposed to last?

Nothing's wrong but nothing's fine;
I feel as though I'll lose my mind.
Can you see what isn't there?
Nothing's foul but nothing's fair.

...Isn't it?Isn't it funny
How naturally a baby cries?
Unusual to do otherwise,
As if it knows the blackened skies,
The hopeless sighs
In the world it's born into.

Isn't it sad
How naughty little kids find joy
In taunting every girl and boy?
As if emotions were mere toys,
And pleas just noise
So easily discarded.

Isn't it strange
When suddenly there is a face,
Which once had been so commonplace,
That starts to speed the cold heart's pace?
Now filled with grace
He's utterly astounded.

It's just life
When last lies down the weary head.
The friends all gather round the bed
And though the final rites are read
He is not dead,
Just passi

Green light, red light How do you do, my dear old friend?
I can't believe it's been four years
Since the last time I was here
(Will you love me again?)

Oh, you know I got here finally
I've just had a lot to do
Things I never got around to
(Would you be mine, please?)

But once I settle those things
I'd like to sit and talk about the old days
So many things have changed since we went away
(Would you take this ring?)

The last time I saw you was so long ago...
You should really meet my husband Tom
I just know you two would get along.
(I guess that's a no...)

VisitationsLate one night when light was gone
And darkness was complete
I heard a sound, around I looked,
In fear from head to feet.

No sight did meet nor greet my eyes,
The room was dark as Hell.
But again so faint, a dainty ring,
The chiming of a bell.

There came a glow, I know not how
Or from whence it came
It formed a ghost, ‘twas most surprising
To find I knew his name.

“’Tis but a dream, it seems old self,
A dream and nothing more,
For I know that ghosts don’t post themselves
As watchmen by my door.”

“I am not dead,” he said at last.
“I’m living yet, you see.
Though you were right, I&

Night Life "Not enough hours in the day? Au contraire! There are not enough hours in the night!"

They say that there's not enough daytime
But oh, I should like to protest
For when you compare with the night hours
Darkness will win, no contest

There are so many things to accomplish
And daylight will just not suffice
You can rob, steal, lie, murder, or gamble
When it's nighttime, who needs to play nice?

You can dance with the devil, gab with the ghosts,
Brew potions 'til witches grow green,
Pillage and plunder, tear spirits asunder,
Night is the time for all things obscene!

Who needs the dazzling daytime
With the splendid black richness of

Dancing in the Rain

Dripping, falling
Raindrops calling
Rolling down the glass
Thunderclouds will pass

Pitter patter
Naught’s the matter
I'm dancing in the rain
They think I’ve gone insane

Grumble mumble
Thunder rumble
Drums beat, as a song
Come and dance along

Let raindrops wash away your pain
Throw away that walking cane
Just try dancing in the rain
Come dancing in the rain.

Just digging through my old writing and found this. It's probably my favorite poem I've ever written. I'm trying to persuade myself to write more often, so I'll post more old stuff just to at least think about it. Enjoy?

edit: I had to fix the meter. :]

~darkeagle856 Jan 31, 2007

absolutely beautiful, i love the rain and you've done a good job in portraying it's beauty. it seems to have the early formation of a meter, but it doesnt have that flow, at least not the first stanza, i think the last lineof the first stanza break up that flow that gets going in the first three lines of the stanza. maybe thats what you're looking to do, maybe not.

Thank you very much! Yeah, I was trying to break up the meter, but it didn't really come across as well as I had intended.

~darkeagle856 Feb 5, 2007

I figured it was something of the like. shakespeare does the same ish think in sonnet 29, but he skips a step in the rhyme scheme in line 8. thinking about it, if you broke the rhyme scheme at the end of the first stanza, that might create the seperation you were going for.
