The Night

Finally I managed to finish this poem! I started writing it back in last winter and now summer is almost done! Yes that is how slow I am sometimes :D
Well it is about something I am planning to do when I get married and that is to let my wife sleep and stay up all night watching her sleeping till she wakes up and I will bring the breakfast to her in bed! I sound crazy I know but I think I can do it ;)

So here is the poem, enjoy


The Night

My sweetheart, you know how I long to touch you
So please do not think I don't want to make love anymore
It is not that I do not want to hold you the whole night through
But tonight just let me look at you like I never did before

So just lie on the bed and get into a peaceful sleep
Don't worry, I won't be far away I'll just sit on the chair beside the bed
I'll safely guard your dreams while you are in slumber deep
And I'll give you some of mine to hide under the pillow beneath your head

I know it is a cold night, and I should be with you under the covers
But watching sleeping like an angel will surely send warmth into my heart
And it's just amazing, this feeling of love above us hovers
And the bond between us so strong that no one can tear us apart

I promise you I'll stay silent all night and I won't say a word
Until the morning comes and it's time for you to be awake
I'll serve you breakfast in bed, just like you have always preferred
And this is just a small thing of what I'll do for your sake

by the way .. about taking a long time to write this poem .. All great things take time.. Even birth takes at least 10 months from conception to the baby's wail .. so if you look at it this way .. I think u didn't take much time at all .. cuz it was great & it was worth it ;)

You get an A for effort... end result is not that great, though. This is not a poem. This is usual talk that brings absolutely nothing to the literary world. Not one idea that's close to being original. I've listened to rock ballads that are more expressive. Sorry to burst your bubble, but somebody has to tell you the truth. I sincerely hope that's not what you do for a living. As to all of you commenting bloggers who stand in awe and praise, you either have no idea what you're talking about, OR, and that's even worse, you're misleading someone onto thinking they actually created something worth while. Why don't you skim through Yeats, kipling, Cummings, and get a sense of what poetry is all about.

Oh and congrats on your choice of title for your blog. Hopeless rhymes they are, no doubt about that.

Peach said...

gee that's harsh! ;\

If you don't like the words well, I think poetry isn't ultimatly about words! If it's any form of art at all then it's more about feelings. And the abundance of feelings in "The Night" is beauty!

hey anonymous this is really harsh and rude...i don't think that u read ot taste poetry , cos the person who love poetry can't use this way of impolite critique ....and u have 2 know that we all here like the way hopeless use 2 write his wounderful poems and what u wrote about him is nothing and will not change our opinion about him ...so please don't write any silly comments here cos we don't want 2 waste our time reading ur stupid criticism and let me tell u sth ..u also need some one to advise u, so take my advice ( go and learn how 2 criticize people especially creative people like hopeless, then read this wounderful post again)
