Night After Night

by PassionCourageTriumph   Jun 19, 2009


Night after night
I toss and turn
Waking in fright
My heart filled with concern

All I ever dream about is you
Both of us together
With a kiss that is long overdue
And a love that lasts forever

If only I wasn't tortured with such dreams
They only taunt and tease
Filling my sleeping mind with painful screams
From thoughts of what will never be

I do my best to keep you out
But it always seems to fail
Through my subconscious you run about
As an illusion of you takes the chance to impale

I close my eyes
And try to breathe
Yet all I can see is that starry sky
Which was always a blanket for you and me

No please stop
I can't handle these memories
But they keep tormenting me nonstop
And ail my heart like a rare disease

Drifting in and out of sleep
I feel almost at rest
Yet suddenly my heart gives a great leap
And there you are again like my spirits protest

Gazing at me
My how handsome you look
You sweep me off me feet
Just like in a fairytale book

About to live happily ever after
I wake once again
And break out in hysterical laughter

    This is interesting. There are a lot of people who've passed this poem by, but not I :D.

    Okay down to business. I felt that this poem was very unique in a way, because it's not talking about lost love persay, but it's talking about the dreams of what was there and how we are almost always thinking about it. It's really good to see that you choose that route.

    Now I do have some suggestions

    "Yet suddenly my heart gives a great leap
    And there you are again like my spirits protest"

    please look over that and reword it some, there are just things that don't seem to be there, read it back to yourself a few times and you'll get it.

    There are a lot of cliche stuff here. Like "Together" rythming with "forever" I felt that the emotion is usually enough to over power the cliche ryhmes, but not in this case.

    I liked it and I'm always a sucker for a sort of happy ending so to speak, or one that is left up in the air. I felt that this poem was a good read, i'm glad I didn't pass it by.

    Nicely done.
