Note:

This is my first attempt at a rhyme scheme. I usually write poetry like a rabid dog (or as some would prefer... freestyle,) and I thought I should expand my scope. I'm not quite sure if this is a sonnet or not (surely there's some form of sonnet this falls under.)
I'm rather proud of myself with this poem, since I used a lot of poetic... skill. Keep an eye out for double entendres (words with two meanings).


Life Lives To Dreams End

Discreet tremble of the air;
sweetness of a sword sharp and fair.
The soft whisper of paper-thin blades,
coming alive as rugged armor fades.
A splash of twilight
with a kiss of midnight.

Kaleidoscope of colors, hypnotizing the mind;
spiral of ribbons dancing through the wind.
A subtle temptation across wind-blown cheeks,
a formless treasure disillusions seek.
Colors fade into rainbows so tragic,
filling widened eyes with illusions of magic.

Laughter of adolescence, a golden cage;
before the hidden beauty of turbulent age.
The world explodes into a brilliant sunrise,
ambitious eyes swallowing boundless skies.
Shoot into the blue with twisted directions;
gingerly fluttering, but forgetting inhibitions.

Roam free with dreams of tomorrow,
before wings are drowned by reigns of sorrow.
