Because No One Else Will

Call upon the night again,

Because no one else will,

Tell the Moon to hide her light,

So that only you can shine tonight

And lay me down, dressed only in your glow

 

Touch me like a lover

Because no one else will,

I yearn for joy, in all this pain

I yearn for the love I got in vain

I yearn for everything I thought I had before

 

And when the rounded drops of rain

Fall on our lips, we’ll sigh

Dressed in bare raindrops will we be lain

As God’s creatures on this isle

 

So come to me like a dream come true

Because no one else will,

Tell other thoughts to go away

So that only you can stay

And paint on me the dream you want to be told

 

And when the rainbow comes alive in our eyes

And a rainbow moment standing still,

Love me like no one has ever before

Because no one else will

I like the repetition you have going in this poem. It works quite well for this piece. I thought this part was dripping with emotion "Touch me like a lover
Because no one else will,
I yearn for joy, in all this pain
I yearn for the love I got in vain
I yearn for everything I thought I had before" This poem was like a short movie, it let my mind wander for a bit and immerse myself in the ocean of this poem's thoughts. Nice work!

You're welcome :)

This is really good. It has this melancholic feel to it, like it was written in the nighttime after a person is tired of crying. Those last two lines really hit home, and it was the perfect ending to this beautiful poem. Lovely writing. :)

It was a perfect fusion of Romance & Recalling. But Recalling took it to another dimension. It was like a dream & Ocean of Beautiful yearning. You're really a good Poet...

hmm, i don't know, the repetition didn't work for me... I did like your imagery it is really good, and very descriptive and creative. i think your lax structure, even though it kinda works for the poem, it didn't sit well with me...

A tall order ... one in which it'll take an entire lifetime to accomplish. But no worries I guess ... if you are game. A great write.

Superb use of the "title line" on all important notes in the poem :)
