Oh Dark of Night

A poem at my returning. Hope you like it

Bring back the stars

Oh dark of night

That they may sparkle for my love,

      That they would glisten in her eyes

Bring back your twinkling light

Bring back the moon

Oh dark of night

That it may glow upon her hair,

     That it may light her face for me

Bring back your noble light

Bring back the sun

Oh dark of night

That it would warm her tender heart,

     That it may shine till even tide

Bring back your golden light.

First off, it's nice to see another Utahn on here. I know my profile says I'm in Texas but I was raised in Tooele.
Second, This poem touches me deeply right now..it's what I needed. I'm away from home for work for 8 more months... and as I lay in bed I long for my love...
Ha I won't get into detail here but thank you for this literature. It's what I needed.

You have been away too long. I've missed you and your gorgeous poetry.
You words are as soft as the moonlight, as precious as the the golden light you speak of...
I'm thrilled to read "you" again.

Hugs, Julie

I am so glad you liked THIS poem.
It is the first I have written in way too long.
I was afraid that i might have forgot how.

It means the world to me that you like it.

HUGGS. ...Trace

You should see the picture I found for my poem

Interesting line. The first two stanzas and the following refrains were seamlessly lovely.

NOTES: The third stanza and it's following refrain, while beautifully stated, don't seem to flow for me with the first two stanzas and their following refrains.

[Trace]

I was thinking of stopping at two
But every night is followed by a sunrise.

Thank you for your excellent comments on this piece.

I have been away for a while.

You're welcome. I hope you'll be as baldly honest if you read my work.

[Trace]

I made some changes in the last verse
I think it reads better now.

That stanza fits better. Maybe the last refrain should read: "Bring back [its] golden light" or "[Let shine its] golden light."
