Until I sleep

a cold plea!

At late night my cold heart yearns,
To leave and fly beyond dreams,
To take this heaped up pain inside,
To free the soul, and drop aside.

I lie down and fade out,
Voices recoil and shout,
Please hug me!

Release me!

Cradle me!
Until I’m free,
Until I sleep!!

This night! My curse! My Blazing dream.
Under its black rug and moon’s beam,
I’m still searching for a warm bed,
To fill my tense hunger for love…
Until I am replete and fed.

In this dim night I crave for care,
For my mother’s scent in the air,
And her soothing voice to hold me,
In ever pure serenity,
Whenever I may plead & weep,
Until I sleep!!

Alone now in these fantasies,
In bubbles of past memories,
I stand cold, terrified, and bare,
Lost in storms of ghastly nightmares.

Hey mother hear me if you’re there!
Your son crying of cold despair,
Please come over!
Hold me ever!
Hold me deep!
Until I sleep!!

a mother's love is always there, at least we hope it is...

we have romantic loves...but often they come and go...they can be ephemeral...but a mother's love?

steady...we can feel it across miles...or even when our mother is gone from this world...she is still strong in thoughts and love.

nicely done.

I wish I had the proper skills and knowledge to write a descent critic about this poem, but sadly I've no more ability than to say that it's nothing short of beautiful, you captured the picture which you imagined and managed to imprint it using your ink, which gave us the readers an overall display of your treasury.

Children that asks for love is a pity... parents should be the one giving the love without being asked... A really good poem, one that reminds of childhood and parental love.

:( It reminds me of a little boy with his teddy bear in the corner searching for his mommy. I love it, although it is very sad.

Not really sure I care for "At tardy night." I've never been a fan of experimenting with font choice but if you like it that's cool. Double exclamation points are not needed--one is enough, two is obnoxious. 5th stanza is the best.

Thank you for your opinion!

That was my favorite line. :3 just kind of stood out to me. But this was an amazing poem. I enjoyed reading it. :)

This is sweet, we all yearn to be in the arms of the one person we know will always be there for us - our mother. Some punctuation put breaks in the flow as there was a lot of it, but that's just me, all in all very lovely. :)

In bubbles of past memories,"
