Never I Sleep: Stave Stanza

 http://picturetrail.com/susiedolls

My eyes say a story,
of gory and glory.
Tears all dry,
with life’s lows and highs.
All day I weep,
and never I sleep.

Wrinkles on face,
travellers of space,
each line a road,
weighing under sorrow’s load.
So, I weep,
and never I sleep.

A silent witness of fate,
in an unending wait.
Lips sealed forever,
no hope to open ever.
That’s  why I weep,
and never I sleep.

In Stave Stanza the last couplets rhyme and the last line is a Refrain for all the subsequent stanzas. For a three stanza the rhyme scheme would be: a. a. b. b. c. C.... d. d. e. e. c. C. ... f. f. g. g. c. C.
