When I awoke one dismal day,
stormy to say the least.
I found to be only one way,
I could escape my beast.
Who prowled and stalked me by the light,
waiting, in patience and unrest,
to pounce and pin me by the night,
a clawed paw upon my breast.
My once fine prince, of never the moon,
he never was "shining armor" enough.
His true colours shining through too soon,
too bright to blind and bluff.
So,
Rubbing forehead, clutching heart,
my stalker-lover in my eyes,
to finally think we could be apart,
made the darkness within subside.
I held a photo, to be on a wall,
in my mind of strengthened resolve,
of the one that I could count to call,
once this deed done, problem solved.
So when I slept that fateful night,
the beast in the dark of my eye,
I smiled as he came further into sight,
Romeo, my prince, must die.

This is a good poem, SHell. However there are a few bits that don't flow as consistently. Sorry for being pedantic, it's just been one of those days
Other than that minor point, I take my hat off to you, this was a very delightful read, made a change from what i've been reading recently.
I'll write something new soon,

It is a great, yet dramatic poem. It is a little bit intriguing, but still,it has a personal charm.
Also you got good rhyme.
Thanks for entering.
