Midnight Fancy
Alone in his study
he heard nothing
but the tick,
tick,
tick,
of the clock
In his hands he held
a book of poems
He read of love
and
longingly wished
he,
would be so blessed
The only answer
to his wish
the tick,
tick
of the clock
She cried herself
to sleep
Alone
in a strange land
she longed
for love
to save her
Surely the kind woodsman
and his wife
would care for her
but for how long
How long
until
that blackhearted beast
hunted her down
and claimed her
as his own
She slept
fitfully
with dreams in which
fairies danced
and led her
to her one true love
He must have dozed
the embers
barely glowed
and the book
lay at his feet
The tick,
tick
of the clock
reminding him
the hour was late
He heard the clock
grow silent
as he stoked the fire
adding more wood
The embers
flew
up
like fairy dust
shimmering
in the wind
Turning to see the clock
he saw her
young, beautiful
and sleeping
fitfully
upon his floor
The clock
resumed
its tick,
tick,
tick
He wondered,
but would n'er question
the fates
that had brought
her to him
He knew it only
as a gift
as he looked on her
with love
She turned in her sleep
warmed,
by the fire
Fire!
Her eyes flew wide
for the woodman
had no hearth
in her small room
She gazed then
into the eyes
of another
into her destiny
And as a smile
crept across
her face
She heard
the tick,
tick
of the clock.

Your style is astonishing... i feel the deja vous of myself... it reminds me greatly of a style i have used frequently myself.
Look at the poems Typeclick, Pontificative Transparent, Blue Eyes Blacklight Crucifix, StrobeRed...
I'd go on but as I think of it... ive near 150 poems... i couldn't possibly continue reccomending...
