Wake up to the cool light of the evening,
Dress up, dress down for the colder weather.
Drown out mistaken misunderstanding
With a warmer sound that lasts forever.

It’s louder than a hurricane at night,
But quiet like below the frozen sea.
It’s darker than closing your eyes to light,
But brighter than a flame you just can’t see.

But here I am at the end of endings,
Watching my memories fall to the floor,
For they cannot suspend themselves and sing
Of good old days and nights that are no more.

And if I had a thousand years to find
Peace of mind, I’d give you a piece of mine.

We're studying Shakespeare in English class, and I ended up really liking the sonnet I wrote, so I decided to post it on here.

Thanks so much! It means a lot that someone enjoys reading it as much as I did writing it.

Very Impressive! I like it a lot...It's simply so poetic, deep, very descriptive and beautifully written. I love the rhyme scheme, it just adds a special and beautiful touch of harmony to your poem. So keep it up cuz you're really talented, make sure you never stop writing ^_^ I'd give it 5 stars with no doubt :D thank you so much for sharing this.
