We sleep through time
as if it means but nothing
We live our dreams
until waking finds us new
Then in the dawn
our Love is all forgotten
The pledge we made
gone like it was never true
Romantic poems
they push the myth of Story
That Love is prone
to have a happy outcome
But life's routines
despite our hopes of glory
Too often come
to snoozy days of humdrum
For Love to shine
such rimed lows must be embraced
To slow the heart
and give stuttered flames a chance
Nothing is wrong
trust those embers in the grate
A quiet look
may arouse the wildest dance
As time goes by
we should reach for every now
Not let them slide
so illogically away
Sat quietly
we can still make life this vow
To let Love rest
it may blaze another day
Writing a 'classically structured Poem' is always a good challenge.
So, here is a strict meter plan and rhyme/half rhyme pattern - 4 beats and 7 beats half lines. Fixing the language 'tone' toward the romantically poetic helps the flow of course with the softer stresses.
Hope you like it - on any level.
