Night without a Day

A little night muse

It's strange how the darkness leans on me
creeps on me howls out it's longing
enters inside like a lovers kiss.

There is no sunshine, no daylight breaks through
this night is endless without you
you stole away the candle bright
you stole away my heart that night

Now that time has past
and heart is no longer missed
memory has faded from a mind once insane
with desire

And darkness is now my refuge
my friend
why should my soul cry out for light

For the light held out a hope
a forlorn and foolish wish
that you took
crushed
swept away, like so many broken hearts.

Now I rest in velvet darkness grand
I need no light to understand
I turn my back on break of day
and you my love may go and play.

very nice! good to see you writing again haha I quite like the alternating rhymes, makes us work a bit reading it, it also has a bit of a dark streak and the last stanza seemed quite death like to me - velvet darkness - 'underground' I think my mind added!! nice!!

[Sunflower 20]

wow, i love the last stanza. the rhyming flows nicely and full of emotion. and it ends so gently, like unconditional love, even if it means sacrificing your-self for the one you love.

Love it! :)

Strange, how in darkness we can find immense light, the answers most often lie inside, thats why, resigned or not lol Great poem love

I love the words you have picked to use in this poem. It feels like velvet black of darkness is surrounding the soul for it it lonely and missing the one that makes it feel whole. The flow is easy to follow and my favorite stanza is

There is no sunshine, no daylight breaks through
this night is endless without you
you stole away the candle bright
you stole away my heart that night

[NoneOfYourBusiness akaK..]

tears in every verb~ the nouns lyrical sorrow~
