Within my dreams I can escape
Creating worlds of my own shape
It's when thoughts stray the shadows fall
But truth is always there to call.
Truths haunt and fall in all the cracks
Within I fall and all is black
In silence I begin to crawl
But truth is always there to call.
Reality is etched and glares
Sinking further in despair
My minds escape is none at all
But truth is always there to call.
Within my dreams I can escape
But truth is always there to call.

Kyrielle Sonnet
A Kyrielle Sonnet consists of 14 lines (three rhyming quatrain stanzas and a non-rhyming couplet).
Just like the traditional Kyrielle poem, the Kyrielle Sonnet also has a repeating line or phrase as a
refrain (usually appearing as the last line of each stanza). Each line within the Kyrielle Sonnet
consists of only eight syllables. French poetry forms have a tendency to link back to the beginning
of the poem, so common practice is to use the first and last line of the first quatrain as the ending
couplet. This would also re-enforce the refrain within the poem. Therefore, a good rhyming scheme
for a Kyrielle Sonnet would be:
AabB, ccbB, ddbB, AB

This seems personal. Is everything ok? There is beauty in these words but it is overshadowed by the sadness I feel here. One should never feel so alone. I hope you don't. Good Luck my friend
