Description through wistful reverie, i visit you, dear,
angel so close, yet so far away,
sweetest paramour, whom i wish to be near.

regarding the stars on the nights that are clear,
i linger in contemplation until that day.
through wistful reverie, i visit you, dear.

left with just memories to muse and revere,
beckoning shadows and ghosts to stay.
sweetest paramour, whom i wish to be near.

search for the course that fate wants to steer,
the actors left tangled within this play.
through wistful reverie, i visit you, dear.

with all that i long for, and yet still i fear,
even your echo will soon pass away,
sweetest paramour, whom i wish to be near.

down corridors of time my eyes try to peer,
and hope us together, with each breath i pray.
through wistful reverie, i visit you, dear,
sweetest paramour, whom i wish to be near.

this one was both beautiful and very, very cute,
nice job with the rhyming, too.

Why thank you.
I am not very adept with rhyming. Perhaps if I practice more.

practice helps, yes.

Why thank you, dear.
I have been told my rhyming is perfectly fine. But, to me, it resonates within my ears like a bloody Hallmark card. So long as that is not the case, I shall be satisfied.

I am constantly experimenting and was far too tempted to try this poetic form. Otherwise, I would have eschewed anything forcing me to rhyme.

Terrible?! You must be insane. This was excellent. The lines flowed beautiffuly and the rhyming was divine. I look forward to your next one.

Oh good. I am glad you enjoyed it.
Rhyming is not a strong suit. I have very little confidence in my work when I incorporate rhyme. (I fear sounding like a bloody Hallmark card. ) That being said. . . I do wish to attempt the challenge again. Hopefully I might have moderate success with a second one as well.

"The wind dances in four directions and touches what it sees ...
But of all the breezes I have ever felt...
only one encircles me...
It gently slips beyond my thoughts...
and hides within my needs...
Capturing my heart inside...
Through words you made me breathe... "

As I have remarked ad nauseam, SHE is very lucky.

Your comments are always a treat, my dear. I enjoy the quotations you provide immensely.

She is not the lucky one. I do believe it is the other way around. But hopefully she fancies this devil just the same.

Great job with this one. I cannot rhyme to save my life...at times I can barely string words in a coherent sentence. Kudos!

Rhyming is not my strong suit in the slightest. As such, I am a bit relieved I managed to complete the entire poem.
And I have read your work. You haven't anything to worry about with regard to stringing words in a coherent sentence.

I know you speak of longing to be with someone you know, but for me, these echo so much the longing I felt for the soulmate I once had yet to meet. I love them.

Thank you, Lady Falcon. I am glad others can find their own relevance in the poetry and enjoy it as such.

My pleasure dear Peter. That is one of the beauties of poetry, is it not?

Quite so. One of the things I enjoy most about reading it myself.
