Your Curious Power

• Artist: SilvertongueSagittarius
• Description: Now, Im not a fan of sonnets, but I had an AP Lit assignment, so I wrote two. This is the first. The second is called "The Sonnet Sonnet" and can be found in my arena gallery
  (For those that dont know, a Shakespearean Sonnet consists of 3 quatrains and a couplet, in iambic pentameter. Basically, ababcdcdefefgg with each line being 10 syllables)

I saw you standing against the ocean

I was jealous of the sun on your skin

A stubborn resolve met constant motion

My breath was silenced by a dropping pin

So you flew away, aloof and unchanged

O'er the sea, singing to constellations

I was consumed and became quite deranged

My words were lost within their translations

I gathered my head and stumbled away

Content to lie in your Grace for an hour

Now I hold back all the things I would say

Lest you slay me with your curious power

Ironic that I thought myself Hamlet

For I was Ophelia when we met
