Perhaps you have once seen the Cheshire Cat? –
A smiling child that pops out half past nine.
An echoing click may give sight to a bat,
But sound the clock, "tick-tock," and take what's mine:
A thought of love condensed into a word
(Awaking in a chair you used to sit),
A flowering spring brings out the lonely bird,
(Though winter's heartaches freeze its modest mitt).
And now the season brings impending shoes,
A Cheshire Cat will smear its face with jam.
I drop asphodel roots into the stew,
I wonder if you'd taste it through the ham.
So long as you are waiting time will fly
Since neither life nor death dare break our tie.

Silence
Un coup sec, un second, et le silence… à trois.
Le voile des artistes, lentement, se leva.
Au loin, un regard virginal se dessina
Tendre et parfumé telle la violette des bois.
Elle s’avança, timidement, à petits pas.
Au-delà de cet espace nu, elle dessina
Au pinceau de ses larmes, et au fil de ses doigts
Un petit banc de bois et un anneau de soie.
Elle comprit que son Valentin ne viendrait pas.
Son œil de jade se couvrit d’une perle d’akoya.
L'amant, dans son désir savait qu’elle était là…
Il lui tendit sa main, et elle se releva…
Ils parfumèrent
Literature
An Ode to the Place in my Dream
An island in the mist
Old and forgotten
A cliff side beaten by the sea
Waves crash against its sides far below
Atop the cliff a tree
Seemingly dead
But oh so stubbornly living
Its fellows long dead
Their children abandoning the cliff
But not this tree
It refuses to leave
It never blossoms and is always bare
But it lives there
On the cliff beaten by the sea
On this island in the mist

To the you who was my everything.
You can call it cliche, or even naive. Back then...
we truly thought we'd spend out lives together.
I remember it more clearly than the the days since it ended.
The day we met.
I somehow knew I had to have you in my life, I made sure it would happen.
I needed you.
You may not have known it yourself, for all you had suffered, been through, the damage you'd been dealt.
You had a light within you
You may not have known...For you I seemed like a bright light in the darkness, but you didn't know then just how deep the abyss inside me was.
I needed that light
My world became about you, for better or for worse...
I would m

When my teacher assigned this sonnet assignment I was sick and my friend told me I had to use these assigned ending words ("cat, nine, bat, etc."). It was pretty hard to make a coherent poem, and even now, I'm not sure people would get it...
I actually like this better than my other one though, and it was easier to write, for some reason. Perhaps it's because I can't change the ending words so no second thoughts? Haha, but anyways, this is about an old woman reflecting on her deceased husband as she cooks Thanksgiving dinner. (Asphodel is a flower related to death and the afterlife.) Uh...not sure if that came across.
