And He Dreams Of Her

by Sumiko Kenchi Haimoto

I wrote this sonnet for an english class two years ago, it actually sounds pretty good, its from Jay Gatsby's POV

And He Dreams of Her

With my arms outstretched to the green light,

I pray that fate will find her here.

The sun will no longer seem bright

When I can finally hold her near.

Her brilliant eyes will wrap me round;

Their dark lights like a promise of dawn.

Her thrilling voice, a heavenly sound,

Will soothe the chaos to perfect calm.

Time has stopped while I wait in the dark –

Praying that she will finally be here,

And nothing could banish her from my heart –

Not a thousand clocks or a thousand years.

I can see here even now: Life's Perfection;

Forever the sole idol of all my affection.
