Dreams on Fire by ~something44:iconsomething44:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Romantic > Mature Romance > Fixed




Tonight I shall dream of a part
For the one who holds my heart,
She whose love I have longed for,
She whose affection I implore.

To the stars I seek of a date
For our lives to be bound by fate,
As I wish for these dreams on fire
Pray for my heart’s true desire.

Into her gentle arms I declare
Hoping the maiden shall hold me fair,
Of the love bearing deep in my heart,
Wish for a time we will never part.

To the heavens I shall beseech
That she of the fair will be preached,
So I would bare open my soul,
Of a love that shall make me whole.

For tonight I shall dream of a part
Of a maiden who holds my heart,
As I cry for these dreams on fire,
Pray she’s my heart’s true desire.

Author's Comments

[After Isolde's wedding to Marke, as the married couple leave the party, Isolde approaches Tristan]
Isolde: If things were different, if we lived in a place without duty, would you be with me?
Tristan: That place does not exist.
Isolde: [sobs] I'll pretend it's you.
- Tristan & Isolde (2006)

A simple, informal ode for Tristan and Isolde.

P.S. While I was writing my last two short stories for DA I was reading King Arthur and the Knights of the Round when I suddenly stumbled upon Sir Tristan of Lyoness. I’ve seen the movie, Tristan & Isolde, about three years ago. So I just had to write something about him. Poor guy… Plus, I haven’t written a rhyming poem in a long time. I’m trying to brush up in rhyming as well.

I love this poem :) It's beautiful. I want to watch the movie again. My brother's name is Tristan and he refuses to watch it lol.

Why thank you. I'm honored. I find the rhyming scheme in this too elementary though. XD... but thanks anyway. Wow! I loved that name, although Tristan means "of sorrowful birth" in Arthurian legend. LOL! Maybe your brother isn't keen on the whole sappy romantic feel.

I love this with all my heart! :clap:

Irony is lovely in print yet painful in real life...
I miss writing poems... :tears:

Haha. Thanks! I appreciate it. I adore Sir Tristan with a passion. One day I too would be as loyal and romantic as he was. Second to only but Lancelot, Sir Tristan is an inspiration.

you're very welcome :)
lol! I had no idea that Tristan means "of sorrowful birth"
He is still young, but even if he wasn't I don't think he'd like romantic movies lol
