My Heart, An Empty Room
Oh, silences! My heart's an empty room,
Oh you, that mock the clamour of the world
With pallid eyes, wan sentinels that loom
Large with night; your eyes with stars are pearled.
My mind in torment haunts my heavy heart:
It flounders in the deeps of baseless fears,
Yet clings to woe, afraid it might depart,
And wanders aimlessly through thoughtless spheres.
This empty room, with longing, yearns for thee:
Grace it with thy gentle words anon;
Lest thou art mine, my heart shall not be free,
Myself not least at rest till thou art won.
Like night must flow to day, and stream to sea,
Twin souls shall merge, and I will come to thee.

Wowza! You're very much ahead of your time! I enjoyed that alot. You are a very passionate poet. She old shakespearean style in which you write your poetry is famous for its depressing love laments. This was verrrry good! You're style is not popular in this age but definately skillful.
Thanks for sharing!

It is pretty good! I couldn't quite get what the first paragraph was saying though, but the rest make sense.. It is pretty cool that you write like old writings used to be written
