Clouded Memories

Clouded Memories

With the
rising of the
morning sun, a twisting
light bent shapes around the darkness
of my lonely old room, crawling like a
snake it hissed a warm wake up call
upon my neck and I
awoke startled
with the

wild eyes
of a mad man.
Woken from a great dream,
a dream of good times with my one
true love, when we sat soft upon the clouds,
adrift in a lovers balloon,
cradled in ecstasy,
mad with love and
wild eyes

weeping
deep in the heart
of emotions, we sat
drifting amongst the watchful stars.
But now my love wanders lost on the crest
of my memories, and I in
the rage of a morning's
wake, lie alone,
weeping.

Rictameter is a scheme similar to Cinquain. Starting your first line with a two syllable word, you then consecutively increase the number of syllables per line by two. i.e. 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 Then down again, 8, 6, 4, 2 Making the final line the same two syllable word you began with.
