Eternal Night
A Poem by Debra Stevens Edwards (Debby)
This was inspired by a poem read at w/c

Captured in a gentle hand
Tortured soul of this one man.
Asking but a place to rest
Puts gentle beauty to the test.


Will beauty give this man a place?
As she looks upon his weary face.
Will she aspire and let him in?
To make his heart believe again.

That love can be a gentle flame.
With warmth to heal souls the same.
She might find her hearts desire
Entwine to join his raging fire.

Together will their spirits soar?
In perfect union to heavens door.
Lifted upon wings they will fly.
Until the time has come to die.

They both awake from gentle sleep.
From under the earth buried deep.
To once again let spirits soar in flight.
To share again in an eternal night.

This is lovely, although life has passed love comes together in the
afterlife, very moving and emotional, and the questions asked are so
tender!

They both awake from gentle sleep.
From under the earth buried deep.
To once again let spirits soar in flight.
To share again in an eternal night.

Such lovely imagary Debby, I always love the smooth flow of your
work and the love that comes through.

Beautiful absolutely beautiful. your other reviewers have almost said it all but I will add. I think your poem tells a story of two very diffrent people from very diffrent worlds that find each other and asre perfect for each other. It is a wonderful poem. It moves me and makes me think of my love.

Beautiful piece, lover together after life has faded away into the blackness that is death. Well expressed with good images and a good flow. Enjoyable to read, I hope that more people have the chance to do so.

While I like both of the poems that you've recently posted, I much prefer this one. The meter feels much smoother and I'm a sucker for a happy ending.

The line ...

"Will she aspire and let him in?"

would fit the flow better (to my ear) if it were ...

"Will she choose to let him in?"

That was the only spot that tripped me up and that's just how I heard it. The poem is yours and must sing to your ears, not mine.

It was a very very sweet poem.

This is a very somber, but touching love poem. It's well written, with nice descriptions, and I like how it describes love that will never be broken between two souls-no matter what. I really like this certain stanza:

"They both awake from gentle sleep.
From under the earth buried deep.
To once again let spirits soar in flight.
To share again in an eternal night."

I really like this stanza not only because it's well written, but because it really touched me when it expressed that true love between two people will last, no matter what. Plus, the imagery in this piece altogether is very nice.


Well anyways, I really enjoyed this.

Nice job. Thanks for sharing.:)
