Steemit Poetry Contest #13 - Bewitched

in #poetry7 years ago

Bewitched

A soothing shroud of silent, sacred night,
When sorrow sleeps and savage dreams flow true.
The sky reverberates a new star’s light,
My soul, alike, vibrates because of you.

Out of the corner of my eye, a ghost,
An evanescent shade of eerie might,
Female, enchanted spell in which I’m lost,
I, clumsy, earthly male with damn poor sight.

You laugh at me, but I’m already deaf.
I’m only a man bewitched just for love.
Your coven plays around me in alto clef,
Your dance is doom for me yet, a hell shove.

This poetry is amazing for many reasons. The structure is rigorously respected, the rhymes are natural and match perfectly with the mood. Tip!

Thank you very much... sometimes I post some poetry attempt, but this is the first time I try a Shakespearian verse... usually I'm more freeform :)
