Steel

He was only another flame in the furnace,
Another hammer blow against my steel,
Another round of pain,
From which I'll heal,
Stronger than before.

World's Sand

Once I dreamt of a world so grand,
I reached to hold it in my hand,
But it fell away like pale sand.

Sharp Words

That guy, that boy, that man.
The words roll round my head,
Like a big bingo cage,
Full of thin razor blades.

Hills of night

They say the sun shines bright
Beyond the hills of night.

Perhaps one day I might
See this beautiful light.

For now my days are dark
My dreams are nightmares wrought.

Golden Gaze

The world's small eyes bare down like heavy gold,
On whomsoever seeks their glazed dim gaze.

My second attempt at a couplet in iambic pentameter.

Smiling nights

A concoction of terror and delight
Dispels my dimming light,
As I fail to fight my fright
Subsumed by the smiling night.

Another attempt at english englyn

River run

I run in the river, I'm lost, I run.
Watching While rocks roll past my feet, I'm done.

My first attempt at a couplet with lambic pentameter
