ArianLlwyn: Poems

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

ArianLlwyn Mar 2021

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

ArianLlwyn Mar 2021

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

ArianLlwyn Mar 2021

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

Past Pride

ArianLlwyn Feb 2021

Past Pride

Click, tick, click, tock, the old clock's hand is wrought.
Iydll, we are as dammed,
And Time will not seem as grand
When there's no one left to stand.

Bathing Blackbirds

ArianLlwyn Feb 2021

Bathing Blackbirds

Great old Black birds bathe beneath blacker storms,
Songs free, flee the clatter,
Raindrops dance till they shatter,
Sad none of this will matter.
