Dreaming of
Flying, gliding
The wind rushing past
Darkness all around
Lit by the stars

Dreaming of
Flickering, dancing
Bright orange flames
Devouring all
Nothing the same

Dreaming of
Good times and bad times
Skies filled with stars
When you were my all
Heaven was ours

Dreaming of
Fire balls and Ice
The cold and the warm
Ev’ryone’s fleeing
Scared by the storm

Dreaming of
Dark clouds, storm clouds
The heavens, they weep
Loss is too great a
Secret to keep

Waking up
Panting, cold sweat
I dreamt of you, dear
The day I lost you
My greatest fear

Oooh! I do like this poem! It had my attention from beggining to end which is exactly what a poem should do. The repitition was very... intriguing. There was absolutely nothing I didn't like about this poem. It had excellent descriptions, the rythm stayed the same, it rhymed... really well done!

i really liked your rhyme scheme. and i liked how you started each stanza with 'dreaming of', it was like you were making a list of things that you were dreaming about. or not even necessarily dreaming about, just things that you were thinking about, or pondering. and i liked that. the last stanza was my favorite.
"Waking up
Panting, cold sweat
I dreamt of you, dear
The day I lost you
My greatest fear"
it stood out from the rest of the stanzas because it started with something other than "dreaming of". all in all, i thought it was really good. keep it up :)

You're wrong about humanity. They are your greatest creation because they're better than you are. Sure, they're weak, and they cheat and steal and destroy and disappoint, but they also give and create, and they sing and dance and love. Above all, they never give up.
