STAY THE NIGHT
I SLOWLY BEGAN THE STAIRWAY CLIMB
I SAW THE DOOR AJAR
I LISTENED VERY QUIETLY
I WONDER WHERE YOU ARE
THE STAIR IT CREAKS AND STARTLES ME
MY PALMS BEGIN TO SWEAT WHY AM I SO FRIGHTENED
I AM NOT EVEN THERE YET
I REACH THE TOP AND TAKE A BREATH
MY HAND IS ON THE DOOR
WHAT LIES BEYOND IS WHAT I WANT
I CAN'T TURN BACK NO MORE
IT OPENS UP AND THERE YOU LIE
WAITING JUST FOR ME
CAN I DO THIS NOW I ASK
YOU BECKON SO GENTLY
I LIE DOWN NEXT TO YOU
YOU WHISPER IN MY EAR
STAY THE NIGHT MY DARLING
YOU HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR
I GIVE TO YOU MY LOVED ONE
A MOUNTAIN OF DELIGHT
AND I WILL TRUST YOU FOREVER
STARTING WITH TONIGHT
I visual exploration of the mind and the soul with lots of beautiful emotion captured so elegantly in this poem. I love it! Regards Donkerman
On reading this poem I try to imagine myself in both the subject and the poet respective positions. They both appear to have waited a very long time for this moment, one can feel the air of emotion and anticipation as the person ascend the stairs all the time knowing that what lie ahead could spell trouble but not able to resist the temptation. All in all a very good poem which hopefully will inspire others in similar situations to follow their true feelings and not live to regret not taking an opportunity. Yes a very inspiring poem.
Nice Job....and isnt it exciting starting an intimate relationship with someone.....frightening yet exciting! Yes I like this one
Hey, this is a really sweet poem, I love it!
