/lit/ - Literature

Wrote this earlier today, my first attempt at poetry, because I'm in love. I know it needs a lot of tweaking, but let me know if you see anything you like. I hated poetry for years, so my "muscles" in this side of literature are pretty undeveloped, but I'm making up for lost time reading the Romantics.


-Where is my dream, with her eyes of swimming hydrargyrum,
-And laughter on her lips to banish the Devil?
-Immobile, she dances
-In motion, divine
-Her hair my most prized vintage,
-Nectar of some red vine tended in Other soils
-It lends me courage to ask for more
-And so I drink deeply

-To you, dream, I profess that thing,
-Of which love is but a phantasm,
-My utter reverence and devotion
-And unyielding tenderness
-Only visit me again
-Tonight, while the rain patters
