Raenaron’s Sonnet

"How do I write a damn poem?" he asked sink words into meaning, then parch them to dry With heights that do thunder and chasms so vast, How could my four-iamb stanza run spry?! "Start from the things that you've lost," I did say, Then wondered if pith that I ousted was true He looked at me lost, and then looked away Perhaps my purport was me more than you? In this or that case, I speak of it, and on it Our interesting talk did give meat to this sonnet.

Once I thought and twice and more As Moonlight erred on flicker ream Of things and dreams we left at shore

Of lichen rims on sandscape floor Where toes were kissed by waves of gleam And once I thought and twice and more

I thought of urchins, passion, spores Beneath the kirk and moor I dreamed Of things and dreams we left at shore

Of how you smelled and what you wore And pious bends in deep sea streams So once I thought and twice and more

Of undine songs in ardor borne Our cordage taut in leeward seams Of things and dreams we left at shore

At sea I'm lone and unredeemed While most forgot, it oft did seem That once I thought and twice and more Of things and dreams we left at shore

some secrets of the trees preside in rainy humid nights their words in caves of music hide and sleep there out of sight

I seek them in my rotten trot to mar a fecund land In veil of monsoon night, I spot a ragged flower stands

perhaps I'll write of petals plain let secrets sleep in caves perhaps I'll write of you, in rain my dandelion brave

were I to notice tears of yours my dearest amber sight of moonsugar on petals torn aplomb in rich of night

I'd paint your petals in my rhyme to glow in lustre flush don't wane, my dearest friend in grime your tears are mine to hush

Piggyback

Only pure of heart may ride Oh if only had you known Black and grim to come were tides Mine as dim as sooty bones

But we reached the truth, my friend Or not-friend, as you decide I'll still watch your back, in end Hoping, so, that you'll watch mine

from a demon hunter, to a dryad

My mind was rattled, heart was torn, With ill a pet that I loved dear A stranger in these woods forlorn No cure to find was what I feared

But then I spied her, green of hair In happy, cheery steps a dance With four stout hooves and navel bare Mayhaps she'll find for me a chance?

And that she did! With kind a smile, She mixed from list a hefty cure A winning warmth and cheeky guile I'm happy with my new friend, pure

So bright a heart she's fair and spright Outshines tenfold my carcass dark But in my greed I hope delight I may take in, at times, her spark

Dagger claws have torn their last Bloody jowls and rattled roars Time for battle came and passed now it's time for well-earned snores.

Even though down here we ache, Sky and stars, from fear are spared, Thousand beasts cried in her wake - Up there now is guardian bear.

Lazy lull of cherry trees Sussurating sulky streams Coruscating lilac leaves Sewn and stitched in twilight beams

Callous stares go well consigned Dropped in lethe and unconcern Finally, I spare my mind Find the peace I so have yearned

Oh, I hope it holds its seams Never rude or curt or droll Wondrous are lavender dreams The kindness of such kindred souls

what wallow lies I suffocate how do I bend and prowl and how it is that my guts ache did I eat something foul?

why do I wander off alone when I ache not to be it is as I had always known my friend is misery

Talk of feelings lost and found words that wound and senses flow and where we find a common ground is where we say its just a show

But twinkly diddly fingertips, they wish the feeling didn't end I like to kiss you on the lips even if it's just pretend

I haven't written in a while about my heart and how it stirs my feelings gathered in a pile so words come out a fogged slur

so with a quill and paper bare I think my dim and dullard thoughts and though I try I cannot share no verb or rhyme for feelings wrought
