Let Fear Sleep {ZaniLa Rhyme}

by xTheEcstasyOfSuicidex   Apr 3, 2007


With strings attached and soft whispered words,
A curse has befallen me.
Gentle touch of an eternal kiss,
I will not leave, I will not flee.

I pray all goes well in hearts that serve,
I will not give up now.
Eternal kiss of a gentle touch,
My innocent heart to you may bow.

Weak at the knees and soft covered lips,
A Heaven I've never felt.
Gentle touch of an eternal kiss,
I will trust the cards I have been dealt.

God pray -- keep us well in our hearts,
Show us a love we can trust.
Eternal kiss of a gentle touch,
Let fear sleep soft and not betray us.

    I'm just amazed at the different types of styles you use. I do think you may of used "I" a few to many times throughout this poem it kind of through me off a little but when you writing something in first person you must you "I" so i really do understand that. I thought the flow come off to be quite amazing to tell you the truth. I found this poem to be beautifully penned. Well done Sheena. ~mel

    You use "I" an awful lot. It takes away from your talent. Watch that.

    Your poems follow most of the same themes.
