The challenge was to explain, using available evidence, whether or not House wants Cameron. I started this as a moody, introspective prose fic. Then I noticed themes repeating themselves. When I think of repetition, I think of Villanelles. This is a very strict rhyme form. Dylan Thomas's "Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night" is the most well-known of them. It so happened that his rhymes were the ones that I wanted to play with. I'm well-pleased with the result.
I'm also incredibly interested in Terza Rima, with the interlocking rhyme scheme. I might just have Cameron answer this one, with one of her own.
That is our poetry lesson for today.
Golden Hour
Dusk lies golden in the waning light
Her eyes seek and sighs betray
I don't have strength to fight tonight
Of all the things that are and might
To my surprise she decides to stay
Dusk lies golden in the waning light
Hopes rise, love dies in evening light
Regret disguised as debt to pay
I don't have strength to fight tonight
Alone. Dark. Eyes adjust to night.
Savor highs, compose new lies to say
Dusk lies golden in the waning light
She cries because she knows I'm right
'But everybody lies' I softly say.
I don't have strength to fight tonight
My thoughts are dark as anthracite
Hers are light and white and bright as day
Dusk lies golden in the waning light
I don't have strength to fight tonight
