City Of Light

by Meme   Jun 23, 2012


In a moment of mysterious trance,
my eyes took a serendipitous glance.
I fall for your attitude and your prance,
now I sway in a frivolous romance.

Those beats; you booked in advance,
never hesitated to take that chance.
You marked my heart as your France,
knowing I would save you the last dance.

Not a dance under the bright moonlight,
nor that in a twinkling starry night.
But the one a princess has with her knight
after they realise its love at first sight.

This night I will remember to invite
until love songs is all we ever write.
So sway me to the melodies you incite
and with us let the city lights ignite.

  • This is so very beautiful!

    I love your rhyme pattern - the first eight lines all rhymes with the same sound and the last eight with another. I havent seen that rhyme pattern before and I really like it.

    Just one thing..
    In the first stanza 'took' in the second line should be 'take' I think - just it sounds off when paired with 'fall' in the third line as one is past tense and one is present tense. Just sounds awkward the way it is, but its only a minor thing...

    Overall, I loved the beauty and simplicity of the piece. You have chosen your words with care and paid attention to detail in order to create imagery - but at the same time, the detail isn't over done.

    As I've said above, you have created vivid imagery in this piece.
    Also, you have managed to express the joy and love that is felt clearly.
    The flow is flawless and, as mentioned above, rhyme is amazing! I love the pattern.

    5/5

    I lovvvve this beautiful poem. The images, the words are awesome. I love the word serendipitous, such a wonderful word to include in a poem.

    The rhyming is great! It was most enjoyable to read hun. I love the feelings I got from the words, the warm feeling inside, the images were beautiful also.

    I love the 'ance' and 'ight' rhymes, it fits so well with what you want to say: romance. I love the feelings that are simple yet I can't deny that I was distracted with the overly-worded adjectives. Such as 'serendipitous' and 'frivolous'. You are talking in a smooth tone here and these words just interrupt that tone and leave the reader struggling with the pronunciation. But of course, that would be my only critique here because I enjoyed the emotions. :)

    I love that you put France in here, even though some may think it's forced (to comply with the 'ance' rhyming.) Still, I think it's a nice addition, regarding your title; the City of Lights. I feel as if you are changing your style from time to time and I love that. Yesterday I read a wholly different poem from you and now this. I just like that. And I think it proves your ability to express whatever you feel inside.

    I am happy to become one of your regular readers on here. Loved this.
