Andrea Dietrich Poet Romanticism

In Phantom Dreams

Draw near to me; you need not hide.

Where night is blind, I glimpse your light.
.
I’ll be the warmth you’ve been denied.

Draw near to me; you need not hide.

Unmasked, you rant. You’re petrified

I’ll leave you here to dark of night.

Draw near to me; you need not hide.

Where night is blind, I glimpse your light

Romanticism in Triolet form for the Contest of the Silent One.
Inspired Line from "Phantom of the Opera" is line two from this part of the song

And in this labyrinth
“where night is blind”
the Phantom of the Opera is there/here,
inside my/your mind

Edlynn Nau August 16, 2015 at 7:39 PM Simply lovely! My favorite line:"Where night is blind I glimpse your light" this and the fact that he is "unmasked" in the dark of night, is great imagery. You helped us to see what you see. It's clear that he is more real and drawing strength from you in the undercover of the darkness! You were able to tell a story, take us on a starlight adventure, and paint with the words, all in one fell swoop! Nice! Yeah...I get to Rate this one! EXCELLENT!

Kabuteng P.Ink K. August 11, 2015 at 10:18 AM This is really beautiful, with such a haunting and enchanting feel for me, Andrea...I think you captured that atmosphere so well here. I am loving that "draw near to me" line...I really enjoyed Phantom of the Opera, so many beautiful songs-- would love to watch that musical.

Jennifer Walker August 2, 2015 at 7:52 AM Even without reading the explanation I knew it was about the Phantom of the Opera. Good use of the line from the song. Again I wish I could write music so that this could be sung, the way that it flows in my head.

Daver Austin July 31, 2015 at 11:13 AM Unmasked, we all have fear. Good message. I like the old movie with Claude Reins as the phantom. Poor fiddle player he is dismissed from the Paris Opera because he can no longer cut it on the violin. Sounds like me. Love, daver

Kp Nunez July 31, 2015 at 10:06 AM I like it that you chose the triolet for this one, Andie. Very effective for the lines you picked out. Goodluck! hugs.

Jan Allison July 31, 2015 at 10:01 AM Beautifully penned Andrea - I am going to see Phantom next month - a major coup for the Island to be given permission for the production to be performed on the Island:-) hugs jan xx
