nestle in repose

through silent corridors and open doors
I hear dripping taps constant as a
ticking clock, repetitive splotch on the
quite side of a nocturnal dawn.

'tis way past midnight shall
soon sleep on dreamed up illusions,
it's a happy day that light wakes me
from such confusions.

I liaise my static pose
poignant thoughts cling
beneath this veil, untold
tales that fail to fade.

the night she knows
my ailing and woes
requite my retraction
as I nestle in repose.

Hi Zigs, I like this poem.... if you don't mind? I've developed a penchant for his type of poetry. Do what you wilst.

through silent corridors and open doors
I hear dripping taps constant as a
ticking clock, repetitive splotches on the
quite side of nocturnal dawn.

tis way past midnight shall I
soon sleep of dreamed illusions,
happy day when light awakens me
from such confusions.

I liaise my static pose
poignant thoughts cling
beneath this veil, untold
tales that fail to fade.

the night knows
my ailing woes
requite the retraction
nestling soon my repose.

Hi Ziggy,
I feel the same way about the night. I do like Kailashana's comments. I feel that they make the poem better. I loved the poem. I'm looking forward to reading more of your work...

the night she knows
my ailing and woes
requite my retraction
as I nestle in repose.

I loved this verse. It captures and sums up the feeling throughout! Very well done. I have no suggestions. I also like that the last line is the title of this piece.

love, Cat

Zigs,

sorry for missing this one, it just slipped through the net.

Your first mistake was getting Lou to help with it...she missed the major spelling mistake!! LOL!

You should always send your work to your favourite editor...and drop that Lou girl!! (only kidding Lou)

repeatative - should be "repetitive"

That first stanza is right up my street and done in your 'unique' style...which you know I like.

I thought Anna had pretty much covered any potential changes as I have no more to offer.

You know how I like rhyming, and the last stanza really finished this off a treat...for me.

regards,

HS

Zigs:

first stanza last line:

should it be 'quite side of a nocturnal dawn', or should it be 'Quiet?'

cheers,

mmm I am not sure to be honest
maybe since it is not the start of a
sentence maybe the way it is but
you must think ''Quite '' ?
