[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

This one I wrote after reading "Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer's Day?" by Shakespeare. I wanted to create something similar in nature to what he had written, though I didn't want to write it in sonnet format, it has too many rules. I prefer free-verse, and this is the result.

LIKE SKIES

Like Skies before the summer solstice

Beautiful classic and pure

So splendidly wonderful--- copious

And yet so reserved and aptly demure

Thou art a spring flower bud in bloom

Magnificent in the heart of May

Thine laughter, euphoric, causes me to swoon

On thine beauty I'm drunk in this field all insipid and gray

With the voice of a Muse and lips what sing truths

And innocent eyes which beguile all save for I

I adore thou singing and dancing through fields of dreamings and fancies

With a joyful heart that, like heaven's light, shines

Before the storm, in the eye of the fray

Standing on this beach of golden sand

Though it is not there that we die in our embrace

But rather instead amble hand in hand

Just like the sky the sun consumes

I scent a whiff of alluring perfumes

In my eddying heart thou sets a fire

And thine voice soothes my soul like the strings of a lyre

The glow of the moon paints the world with beauty only ephemeral

Like the endless sky

Even after I die

For you, though, my love shall remain undying and eternal
