Selene

[Rystil Arden]

Anyone here in the mood for a poem? Here's one I thought up

----------------

Selene

Her silver smile beams down to part the gloom,
Empyreal with its faint ironic twist,
For who better than she perceives her doom
To vainly clutch the mem'ry of a tryst.
One that can be no more as she well knows
And Theia's fair-tressed daughter mourns her fate,
No matter how it hurts, her love will doze,
Enticing tears that nothing can abate.
And yet, despite this all, she smiles for me
Her amaranthine face exuding peace
For Night's handmaiden comforts selflessly.
Her altruistic vigils never cease.
As she prepares her slumber come the dew,
I cry, "Selene, when will you live for you?"

I wrote this staring up at the night sky, as I am wont due to my nocturnal wandering. Any thoughts?

Oh, and I guess I forgot to mention that Selene is the moon in ancient Greek. Minor detail

Do you have any more to share with us?

Do you have any more to share with us?

I have like thirty of them; I used to write a poem every week.

 

[Jdvn1]

So, share! I like having poems. Sometimes I use them for my Bard characters too.

I use them for my characters quite a bit. Also, I used one to win $70 worth of products from Necromancer Games. That was fun. I figured I'd go back to my 1/week pacing of releasing my poems. It seemed to keep up interest more than just 30 at once. ::shrugs::

 

[Jdvn1]

Well, I can settle for that.

 

[Rystil Arden]

Well, I can settle for that.
