Dream

[TheThing]

Well, I think I have my new medium. I don't know if it's the fact that I can crank one out in a short time, or that it's just how my brain works, but I think I'm beginning to like writing and reading poetry. I'm more into prose, but I'm learning how to rhyme, as evident by a few of the couplets below, but I'm still bad at it, as evident by a few of the couplets below.

Anyway, this is a simple love poem. Nothing too complex or dark, unlike my other works (awesome way to work in a plug - go check out my profile to read some of my other stuff!). This isn't my best work by a long shot, but it's a nice little poem. Anyway, enjoy.

"Dream"

Life is but a dream,
And nothing is what it seems.
Which explains why everything is so surreal,
It is that way that You make me feel.

Before, my life was a horrible nightmare,
Before I found that You cared.
But now I smile
Because the Monsters are less hostile

I thank You for waking me
Into finally being able to see
That Love has no bounds
When You, my love, are around.

But now I can never go back to sleep,
For my heart You now keep.
I can never go back into the darkness
And live a life of complete starkness
