On the Edge of a Dream

He was once the sun of her sky And she, a star from a universe he esteemed But their star crossed love went awry Eclipsed by the traverse of moonbeams A dark moon rising, on the edge of a dream

hey, I see you were inspired by this title too, on the edge of a dream. I love how you made it into a dark moon rising. I think you are really getting into the 5 line poems.
