Bryan's Somewhat Ballad (Rhyme)

Tell me a true story

that’s locked away on the Moon

from tearful times to glory

before it shall disappear soon.



Once my chrysanthemums lay athwart

in my secret, tiny glen.

Inside my mind and heart,

the memories we have spent.



Perhaps onwards to the desert

where the friendly Sun has lain;

in which none may hamper

or delude his love’s lost refrain.



Then travel on to the beach.

The littoral silence under moonlight

to view a forgotten face in dreams.

My friend.  My brother from insight.



Finally to my quaint garden

where I’ve fallen no where to run

With me are those ruby roses

Grown from old nostalgia.



Once again in my reality

awakened but not in glum

Bryan’s somewhat ballad released

yet drowned with sweetened drubs



…of yesteryear and before again…

my ballad of forgotten times.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

(To outsiders):  Very strange to read.  I know...  /  (To the tendentious "Sun," the stubborn "Moon," and the "Chrysanthemum Girl" who slipped away...):  You know who you are...  :-(

I found this piece a bit confusing. I didn't know all of your references until I read the comment and even then I'm a bit lost. I also don't have a vocab. as big as yours. From what I did understand, it depressed me to read this. There's no happy ending and I wanted one. Maybe, your silver lining will come and I'll get my happily ever after endings.
