Love Rippled

Don't wake me from the dream, if this is a dream Throne we shall sit, when we celebrate life after scar Alone in my sanity more or less drives me crazy Drone of the dark life has sunk me too far Let me dwell and safe in your arm Set me free from the bondage of tangled chain Vignette of this might be fragile or blur Yet we have survived beneath the pouring rain Note: First attempt in "Lento form" A poetic form created by Lencio Dominic Rodrigues, the Lento is named after it's creator, taken from his first name Lencio and rhymed to Cento, an existing form of poetry. A Lento consists of two quatrains with a fixed rhyme scheme of abcb, defe as the second and forth lines of each stanza must rhyme. The fun part of this poem is thrown in here as all the FIRST words of each verse should rhyme. There is no fixed syllable structure to the Lento, but keeping a good, flowing rhythm is recommended. Feel free to try! :D
