Please smile your eyes to the rhythm
Of your heart and your heart alone
Watch as the night grows darker
And the moon turns into stone
You’re the dream of a dream of a dreamer
You’re the spell of a wizardly man
And the curse of a star that’s fallen
Into a dreamer’s hands
But a flower is only a flower
As long as the color can stay
And the morning comes in storming
To chase the night away
So sleep the sleep of the children
And steal the wise of the old
Then love with the fire of summer
And die with the winter’s cold
And you can curse the world for being
You can love and always regret
But don’t love for the sake of loving
Or love to simply forget.
But there was never a smile worth cursing
When the night was a light shade of blue
And there was never a time worth doubting
That the night was inside of you
Hi Ben, really liked this poem! 'And you can curse the world for being You can love and always regret But don’t love for the sake of loving Or love to simply forget.' Particularly struck a chord. Excellent!

Ben- this is greeting card stuff....is that what you want? i think you want to write poetry that can be measured against the best poets writing today. yes? good. facile rhyme, telling not showing the reader, and shallow thoughts must go. find three established poets you admire, tell us about them here - quote a favorite image or two. let's both work harder.
