Where You Sleep (Ode)

by Bryan   Dec 13, 2006


My heart and soul
are what you keep,
so now I worship
where you sleep.

Absolute perfection
I see in your eyes,
as you sleep
my heart forever cries.

Beautifully mastered
how you stole my heart,
sorrowful arrogance
tore it apart.

Without you here
I cant help but weep
so I sit here and pray
where you sleep.

Minutes turn to hours
hours turn to days,
but where you sleep
is where I pray.

Ode is a dedication to a person thing or place that you worship.

    I love Odes. I think they are one of the best kinds of poems.

    I like love poems and I enjoyed this one.
    Just a few things though.

    "Absolute perfection
    I see in your eyes,
    as you sleep
    my heart forever cries."

    ^^^
    I think the forever makes it a few syllables too long. Maybe it can be as you sleep, my heart it cries. I don't know its up to you but it kind of ruined the flow for me which was going really well.

    "Beautifully mastered
    how you stole my heart"

    ^^^
    love those lines, they are really sweet and meaningful.

    "Without you here
    I cant help but weep
    so I sit here and pray
    where you sleep"

    ^^^
    WOW so powerful. Reminds me of a situation I went through and I love it when poems remind you of memories or make you think about things. Brilliant work.

    Beautiful ending, wrapping up a great sweet poem.

    well done

    Because I like to take the time to really read and give good comment on poems and their authers, this will be my last comment for tonight.

    This is excellent!
    I don't often rate 5/5 simply because I think that everything can be inproved in some way, eventhought that doesn't mean I neccaserily have the answer on how to do so.
    but... This poem defenatly deserves a 5/5!
    The flow is great and it is very clear what needed to be said in this piece. you did a really great job in writing it!
    the more I read your work, the more I like it!

    thats it for now, I wish you a good night.
