Dawn and Dusk

Far o'er the misty moors,
There waits myself for thou.
I stand at my door ever searching skies,
For you never can tell.

I wait silent and still as the lights of day,
Break once more through the mists,
And then I hear the song of joy,
And know that love has kissed.

My heart doth sing of your return,
To wash away my tears,
But I know I will have to wait,
Before thou dost come here.

Far o'er the misty moors,
The land sings with life and joy.
I watch the seasons blow past,
Stopping here and there,
To scatter the morns with dew.

But then upon a mid-noon wind,
A sad voice doth say to me:
“I see you ever waiting, ever looking, ever wishing.
And now it breaks my heart to tell you...”

Though then her voice did sigh with sorrow,
And I strained to hear the rest:
“It truly breaks my heart to tell you,
That we will never meet,

For our young daughter's name is Noon!
And...” but then a sudden gust did blow
And her voice was swept away.
Though the wind did howl and the coldness came,
I did not move for now I knew my name.

A smile now danced upon my lips
And I shouted to the rain:
“My name is Dusk! My lover is Dawn!”
And though the night soon came,
My love burned bright, my heart then sang,
I did not know the meaning of pain...

For now Dusk had finally met Dawn!

It's fantastic, I dont like to be lenient when it comes to poems because it's difficult for me to come across something that pleases me... But you've done so well with this piece. It seems familiar some how, alas, it reminds me of older classics. I especially love the use of old English, it's quite uncommon to find writers that use it these days, it's some what satisfying.

Wow, absolutely brilliant. Your poem clearly reflects how Dawn and Dusk will always be there and your style makes your poetry very attractive. The use of Old English and "Far o'er the misty moors" reminds me of Shakespearean literature, except more modern and much more understandable. biggrin

^^ I can see old english is an eye catcher, eh? It's one of my favorite styles of poems. I'll put more poems up here soon...
