We did a project for English class with Odes and this is what came out of it. |
Poetry, oh Poetry You are the delicate expression of my dreams and visions My sweet sanctuary from the harsh realities of my solitude You shall quench my thirst for companionship forevermore Poetry, my sweet, gentle Poetry You see into my mind with all-knowing eyes that pierce through the darkness that surrounds me Your depth and meaning cannot be described with nothing less than my tears and praise You, my only true love, and you alone are my God and my heaven Yet you are also the poisonous hell that only I comprehend Like a fresh breath of spring air after a long, dark winter you bring life to my soul Life mournful lovebird you can make me cry, yet as love's first kiss you make me sigh Like lightning in a midnight storm, you keep my mind awake and my heart racing I cannot compare thee to a summer's day for the warmth does not melt my heart as only you do No ice on Earth on in the leagues of Hades could send shivers up my spine as you can No wind storm or earthquake of any magnitude could ever move me from this eternal love No oath of immortality or devotion can ever break our bond, this lifeline we share Oh great poetry, hear my plea, Teach me your art, become one with me If your beauty should cease to exist some day, I too shall wither and fade carelessly away |
