Dreaming

by ShadowDancer   Feb 28, 2006


She perches on a bridge arms stretched high
Ignoring the murmurings of passers by
She leaps into space as if she can fly
And she falls

She dives down deep into the blue sea
She swims deeper though burning her lungs may be
Down and down she swims, gliding smooth and free
And she drowns

She lights a burning pyre, and the flames touch the sky
She watches the smoke spiralling up on high
She steps up onto the fuel, brittle and dry
And she burns

She murmurs and rustles in her heavy sleep
A scarred arm slides out under the white sheet
In her mind are sky, flames and water deep
And she dreams

    i love the style/rhyme scheme(aaab, cccd) and having the last line dramtically shorter/. this is o wicked cool! the flow was great and it made me not stop throught the whole poem.
    5/5 no doubt about it‼
