ORIGINALLY POSTED ON 5/19 and now there is a contest using this form. MY POEM IS NOT FOR THAT CONTEST. It was created using ONLY the titles of poems I've written. Many of them were posted on PS, but not all of them appear here. No grammatical articles of speech were used. I danced in the rain on silver wings our whispered words, "Make me the reason you breathe" Whispers dried on the vine whetted with deception, branded by flames disillusioned with love we turned our backs on forever Dark sombre nights, my heart cried tears in the moonlight while sunlight sleeps Alone in my grief, a soul depraved layer upon layer, shoveled from the grave Night rituals no escape from the pain night visits to a vile place darkness in starlight's bloom emotionally naked when forever is severed Heartache wears a face of woe Memories linger, wistful memories Drowned in passion, with remorse Farewell to our yesterdays Treacherous Heart! Human imperfections...mortality Outracing death, an uninvited guest Shadow of my lover Love's tragic death In darkness I dwell in crypt hued grey in shrouds of silk Weep not for withered petals sing no canticle for me For love I have died

This is a "killer", Lin...in more ways than one. And, clever too.

This just goes to prove that your title choices are poetry in themselves. Really nice Lin.

Contest or not Lin, this is fantastic. That stanza starting with Night Rituals is ace. And this one is my favourite: "In darkness I dwell // in crypt hued grey // in shrouds of silk"

Thanks so much, Darren. I think that last grouping is my favorite, too. And those 3 poems were written months apart. I appreciate your detailed remarks, letting me know specific lines that you like. ;-)

Hi, WW. Thanks for seeing that it's NOT for the contest, but was written several weeks earlier as "My Poem of Titles'. I'm delighted that you like it.
