Somewhere Only We Know

by vintage darling   Sep 26, 2008


Trees quiver where shadows lean,
a tiny sliver of the moon is seen
By the glimpse of the silent lake,
care not to stir, or slightly wake

A place where there's no harm,
here is where you're my charm
nothing but the endearing silence,
stars gleam vivid by mere brilliance

When the moon had found the sun,
seemed you were barely hanging on
Although your eyes saved my light,
you stood there with bitter fright

The touch of your hand made me shiver,
reassuring me, you were oh, so clever
But you know I was always keen,
not to fall too hard on Halloween

The promise of the moon and stars,
we were just reliving these memoirs
Protection as my guardian angel,
but just a weak heart left to dangle

The rustle of the leaves are all that sound,
but chance of heartbreaks may resound
Only your image and eyes that glisten,
the simple sound of your voice I listen.

    I really liked this, there were some stanza's that could have been removed and it wouldn't have made a difference.

    The promise of the moon and stars,
    we were just reliving these memoirs

    That is by far one of my favorite lines that I have read in a very long time. I really liked that, the way that you put the rythme into that. It was very well thought out and executed.

    But you know I was always keen,
    not to fall too hard on Halloween

    that specifically is something that I wasn't overly crazy about and felt it really didn't belong with the rest of them.

    Honestly, this is a really great poem and I'm glad that I got a chance to get to read it. Truly a wonderful piece.

    Keep writing and keep your chin up.

    `Lol for some reason I really liked the last two lines of this stanza.. it was well unique it's own way which attracted me as a reader, and made me say woow.

    "Protection as my guardian angel,
    but just a weak heart left to dangle"
    `Woowness. Girl, you have your way with words.. and I can clearly see that. The rhyme and flow of the poem have swept me off my feet. This poem is very well written.. and the wording just keeps getting better!

    "The rustle of the leaves are all that sound,
    but chance of heartbreaks may resound
    Only your image and eyes that glisten,
    the simple sound of your voice I listen."
    `Totally amazingly written. I am speechless.

    Overall, a great write. :] Well done. 5/5

    Well, i have to admit you're really good at rhyming words. I'm not really a rhyme person coz some poems that have rhyming words don't make much sense. Well yours has sense and all the rhyming words sounds good. Well done. Flow was excellent too, everything was smooth from start to finish.
