I wrote this for a weekly topic on a group for Deviant Art. The topic was "My first love"
But i also told my story of my current love, happy endings =]
We sat, near the sunset... The dark... hugging our feet.
Perched on a rooftop. Sound, soft, discreet.
My head... on his shoulder. His arm... wrapping mine.
A day never to be seized. But... at the drop of a dime.
Her shadow filled our romance.... The silhouette... I had never the chance. my love's eyes did wonder, to her lustrous trance.
My world turned a dark fade. ... I watched him walk away.
And I sat in my somber... As the trees so did sway.
A love thought pure... stolen away.... A love sought forever... never again, anyway.
Till the day came another... And the world wasn't grey.
I like the sound of the poem when read aloud, the syllable structure is great, but when I tried picturing the feelings in my mind they seemed vague, and I think (just my opinion) that words like somber and a few of the phrases, like "...the world wasn't grey" are too non-specific. I would localize each feeling and draw a specific word for each one. But as I said, the syllable structure, the Flow is perfect.
