"All gone now" Standing outside this winters night I remember you the words that we said the smiles that we shared in that never-ending summer all gone now, all gone now fade into the night consumed by the dark all gone now wave goodbye and say goodnight I wrap the cold around me it freezes my tears half-fallen half-formed the dark swallows up my sorrow swallows up my past swallows up my soul all gone now, all gone now drift into the dark no coming back all gone now wave goodbye and say goodnight sunlit dreams and happy times eaten by the black-eyed beast that preys on the night he's taken my heart he's taken my soul he's taking my life all gone now, all gone now I slip into the night never coming back all gone now wave goodbye and say goodnight -Dante Pls let me know what you think and what improvements can be made. Thx! [This message has been edited by Dante (edited 04-25-2000).] |

out of curiousity, is this a song? it seems to have repeats/refrains in it like a song would. i think a "never-ending summer" is a cliche in written verse, but it could pass set to music. it is SO hard to write love poetry without something like that creeping in! still, it holds together well thematically, and i really like the "black-eyed beast" and "i wrap the cold around me".. thanks for the post! |

Thanks for your reply It's not a song, I wrote it myself, but I have absolutely no musical talent. |

While reading your poem, a tune tried to unfold in my mind. This really could be a song. I liked it. I did. |
