Benjamin David Poet Enclosed Rhyme

Melancholy

Those smiles bloomed, blossomed fawned
As tears now wander
Upon hearts squander
Love's grave has securely, purely, spawned 

We kissed aflutter and danced in shimmer
And my hands apprised
But now glanced disguised
For the shadows glare dolour and dimmer

Douglas Fulghum March 21, 2013 at 3:58 PM Well done Benjamin, very nice. Benjamin David March 22, 2013 at 10:19 AM Thank you very much, Douglas, your words touch me.

Nikola Žilic March 21, 2013 at 7:55 AM First good poem I read today on this page. Great rhytm great imagery, but the title doesn't justify the atmosphere of the poem, or perhaps that was your intent, good job anyway. Benjamin David March 22, 2013 at 10:20 AM Your compliments are endearing, thank you.
