Shallow liaisons do not stem, The screaming pain of an empty soul. Stifling heart and solemn calm Stiffen, this ever,...painful stroll Sombre moods and sorrowful yearning, Of simple times when seventeen A score and ten of silent dreaming Seduced by a separate life unseen Stoic future without one loved A time that will never be left behind An angel’s name indelibly scribed Upon the stone of stringent mind And surely when I spend my final hours I know that I shall remember what was once ours © Fran Maguire 2006 |
I thought this was very good. The flow and rhyme is first rate and the theme is just right for the words you used.

The third line seems not to fit at all (unless I'm reading it wrongly).I'm not really a big fan of changing the style and adding just two lines at the end instead of a full stanza either,but here it works well.Interesting piece,which was enjoyable to read. | A.C | Posted on 2006-10-15 00:00:00 | by Asakura Cowboy | [ Reply to This ] | |
