Sophia Valentina Poet Rhyme

The Lilies Gave Me Nightmares

My Lover’s heartfelt tithing setting by my bedside looms.
For his comment undermining, gave a gift of Lily blooms,
but the bouquet ever blossoms off intoxicating fumes
and the blunder of my Lover unbeknownst becomes my doom….
What augurs well, perchance foretell! The Lilies shroud my tomb?

So drifting off through slumber soft my summer sloth descends
into the blue, the muddled hue before the black begins
and dreams supreme replaced by screams as Nightmare settles in.
For if I die before I wake, eternity to spend!
I pray my Love, my Soul, to take the lilies back again.

Just That Archaic Poet February 1, 2014 at 12:15 PM This should have tipped me off immediately. Again, I was livid I could not bash it, but you know I know genius when I see it, even if I don't acknowledge it. I hope you are writing more; you always have been the best and my better, for the keenness of womanly intuition trumps the masculine crudeness every time. Sophia Valentina February 1, 2014 at 12:26 PM Much appreciated. Word games with you have always been the best.
