In dark side of myself

PreviousNext
I feel sleepy, I close my eyes,
to see a vision before me rise.
Far away in the sky
I see golden, sparkling light,
Like a piece of magic or might.
Path to sky is narrow and I might
Fall down from this incredible height.
Got to reach it, got to keep tight,
It's hard to walk in the darkness of night.
But till the end I will fight
to reach the golden paradise.
As I walk to the worlds this side,
I look down on earth and sigh.
Earthlings' useless, foolish lives
are nothing compared to the upper sight.
And right now it comes to my mind:
Got to walk forward, there's no left and right,
as I remember brave mans lines:
Yes, there are two paths I can go by,
And in the long run I still have enough time
to judge, think and change my mind.
In these thoughts I was as I
walked up to the mystic light.
I get close and get stunned, as my eyes
come across a tall gate, right!
I'm about to touch it to see what lays behind, 
but then i suddenly open my eyes,
find myself in my bed, I sigh, and I try
to remember every part of this weird night...



please review! thanks..

It was a very interesting poem. I like how visual it was. And your conventions were good too.

However, there were some minor problems. It's flow was very bumpy and it dulled the beauty of the poem. I liked it thogh, just pay a little more attension to your format.

My rating:8/10

keep writing!

hello! :)
Ok one or two small things :)
First off Im sure you can think of a better way to say "I close my eyes" I realise that you have a rhyme scheme but try think of a move innovative way to say it :)
getting back to the rhyme scheme, you dont have a very clear one, my pesonal feelings towards rhyme schemes is that you should either go all out and have a definate one or leave it all together, because, to me anyway, it looks like you have a half rhyme scheme and it just ends up looking messy
Same with the capital letters, either have all your sentences starting with one or only after punctuation
I do like the poem, but if you just correct a few little mistakes and maybe throw in a few innovative words for more umph it could be much better! :)



Who wants to become a writer? And why? Because it’s the answer to everything. It’s the streaming reason for living. To note, to pin down, to build up, to create, to be astonished at nothing, to cherish the oddities, to let nothing go down the drain, to make something, to make a great flower out of life, even if it’s a cactus.
