Now as I stand here, the shadows and blue
Gray and inane red, restless in their soul
Waters run by slowly into the night
Thousands and thousands of years backward to
Smell of darkness in the garden of love
Inviting to the pomegranate dream.

No place to go and no knowledge to know
Suspended forever in midnight air
All the confused footsteps lost in the woods
Blue and watery in their nightly garb
Glorious spiders playing marching tunes
My veins go deep down the earth like wild roots.

And so I stand here waiting for some one
Nameless as death,lone night's blackness,some one.

What about Silent Night? (lol, although it seems awkward)

Shadows seems good to me.

'As I passed you in the corridor, I thought you smiled at me, but perhaps it wasn't at me, perhaps it wasn't a smile and perhaps it wasn't you.'

Thank you, camellia. I wrote them - as a suggested title for holdencaulfield's poem.

O, god ... hehe ... really nice, blp! :D

read it, and it's like watching a ghost movie, but not scary, just a slight haunting sadness.

the overall image of this poem has a haunting quality too--i like reading it.
the title is best when given "untitled", but if any, how about "some one from the dark" or just "some one"?

I like the poem (especially with my title ;)).

"Sonnett for Adam"

that's excellent, Jarndyce! or maybe "Sonnett for the Garden"?

How about "The Pallet of Sorrow" or "The Pallet of Solitude"
I figure with the mentions of all those colors and all.

or

How about "Fruit Loops of Death"?

Emily Dickenson did OK with just numbering her poems. I suggest 7643, it has a nice ring to it.

Like the poem btw.

"Sonnett for Adam".

The only problem with that title is that it isn't a sonnet. So, I take it you didn't like my "Fruit Loops of Death" title?

Oh well, I guess I will save it for me then...

(Yes, I am just a little sorry about the Tolkien pun.)

Except that it is a sonnet variation. 14 lines of pentameter, with the final rhyming couplet. I'd call it a sonnet. Actually, I did call it a sonnet.
