Intriguing... the various punctuations make it look almost mechanic, like a computer making very human-like speech, though i know that's not at all what you were going for here. I like the presentation of the action... the buildup and then the jump straight to having been passed up by life... also, a word of advice... cut out the words "royal night...eye:" and just start with "i was caught in a dream"... i like the way that introduction sounds, but this is not its poem and i have full faith and confidence you can find a better use of a strong line like that... three good writes, love... keep them coming.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
