The format for this poem is the most difficult and restrictive I've written (for this story) so far, but it all came fairly easy, not too much strain. This is from Raven's point of view. As always, pairings are left to your imagination.


The sun found me dreaming

a story so sweet

It forever was seeming

an impossible feat

It told of a new life

so precious and true

A world free from strife

A tale spent with you

Newfound wings were spread

lifted by Free

The sun warmed my head

shining on me

Here, no fear could live

dragging me down

Here, no debts did I give

forever a frown

Those days were not emtpy

dark and alone

For you were there with me

sweet, soothing tone

Yes, you were there with me

silence the moan

You were there with me

never alone

You were there with me

I should have known

Reality is so bleak, I see

black on white

I think I'm ready to be free

give up this fight

No, I'm afraid I'm not coming

don't wait

This dream-state is numbing

waking, I hate

So I close my eyes

breathe so deep

Deaf to your cries

I sink into Sleep


Believe it or not, I started this poem with the determination of writing something happy...but I got this instead. In fact, most of my poems start out trying to be happy...but it never works that way. -shrug- I'm a drama queen, I specialize in misery. Maybe you liked it, maybe you didn't, either way, I'm kind of indifferent. ...Oook, that was a rhyme as well. -smacks self- I really need to stop this whole poetry craze... -Dusty
