Soft and still my heart does weep
Internal tears I feel them creep
Loving you is way too deep
Encumbered in this darkened heap
Now or never is my chance to leap
Cherubim, sing me no more to sleep
Eternity is mine to keep

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

oh wow! that's crazy that the entire poem rhymes! That must have taken a long time. great work!
I loved your acrostic poem and the rhyming scheme you used.
Of all the “silence” acrostics I’ve seen on here, this is by far the best. One, it’s actually a poem. Two, it shares a deep emotion with every line. Three, it’s hard to find six different rhyming words to fit in so nicely at the end each line in a poem. Very nicely done.
This is deep and beautiful, Tressa Rose!
