Between Sunset and Sunrise

by Levi   Jun 14, 2008


As the sunlight falls behind the horizon
A mere pane of glass separates us
Though I can look upon you
I am still so distant
Unlike the dagger that buries itself deep within my heart
This love could destroy the World
So why can something so simple keep us apart

You look so f__kin beautiful (beautiful)
As the moonlight graces your skin
Everything I want
Is so close but still so far away

The embers of hope remain
Though an existence rests on my shoulders
And an everlasting love in the palm of my hands
This is worse than any darkness
Even heavens above are dead to me

But you still look so f__kin beautiful (beautiful)
As the moonlight graces your skin
Everything I want
Is so close but still so far away

It eats away at me
If all for one embrace
I would give the World
For just one kiss I would die to taste you
Die to hold you
This World has been cruel to me
But all I can do is walk it's lands
Between sunset and sunrise until
The light offers comfort again

You still look so f__kin beautiful (beautiful)
As the moonlight graces your skin
Everything I need
Is so close but still so far away...

    The one thing that makes you different, is the one thing that keeps you for the one you want. At that point you're wishing that you were the same as everybody else.
    I liked how you used darkness as a metaphor for a glass wall. You can see your lover but you can't touch her. This may sound weird but you poem reminded me of the movie Bouble Boy.

    I loved the line "If all for one embrace I would give the world."

    Great job thanks for the read

    *This was my favorite part. I love love love the imagery you use here. I love the diction you use as well. I felt such a happy feeling when I read this, you really arent afraid to put your heart out there for us all to see. That's why you're such a talented writing. You don't hold anything back. Keep it up. Nik*

    A beautiful poem, quite like a song, Actually i do belive it is a song. Maybe i'm wrong, maybe not. The imagery you've created in this poem/song is vivid, and i liked the repitition of the 4-line stanza.
    My favourite lines:

    This World has been cruel to me
    But all I can do is walk it's lands
    Between sunset and sunrise until
    The light offers comfort again

    ^^The image this created in my mind is one where you are wandering around, lost, with no sense of direction, until sunrise, the light comforts you, as a reunion with your loved one would. Maybe thats what i was meant to pick up from it, maybe not =]

    5/5 Well done, don't stop writing.

    Wonder poem, sounds like it would make an excellent song too.

    This fellow should rip that dagger from his heart and use it to shatter the window... lol
    that would be like killing two birds wth one stone.

    great poem
