ETHEREAL ANTICIPATION

Dark’s lonely miracles
		whisper within man’s heart
		wherein confused emotions start.
		Human reasonings depart
		within eve’s hypnotic shackles
		crafted of fate’s deceit, yet sweet art.

Dreams seem as cloaks
		spun from skies spectrum desire,
		but be it a devil or angel choir
		humming for man to begin and aspire?
		Be it hell’s joke or heaven’s stroke?
				Night grins when man begins to inquire.

Stars lullaby and mystify
		every intimate, unspoken thought.
		Night does comfort mortality’s clock,
		does caress life’s answers sought.
                Stars shine a joy our hearts amplify.
				Awe dies misbegot if ethereal exist not.

Thank you. I love the feedback, your suggestion is an excellent one. Actually I let the last line sit alone because it sums up the entire poem and could easily be a stand-alone sentence I'd utter! Thanks for coming 'round. I enjoy spending time with you...CayCay (oh, forgive me inundating the site with so many on one night, it's just that I have millions and so little time.)

I JUST love this and the rhyme scheme. Here is a suggestion for fun... Did you try wrapping up all the non-rhymed words to rhyme with each other? HARD but so cool: shackles,stroke,sought? Even the non-rhyme was detailed out for alliteration. My eye thinks the space on the last line is a mistake. I know it isn't but my eye thinks so! We were not anticipating that...right? Good one!
