    Poem Commentary

    This was written when first alone as
    I could not sleep but began to see
    the night for what it was and
    did embrace it at times and yes,
    i did accept it finally as a friend.
    I did need it.

    Night

     It haunts me,
    enthralls yet scares me.

    I cannot escape it.
    But I do not want to, I need it.

    It's coming and I can't stop it,
    delay it or even ignore it.

    At times I yearn for its sweet touch,
    its soothing embrace.

    But it leaves me - always alone,
    wanting more.

    I do not love or hate it.
    I just accept it.

    It is Night.

    this is a classic thought. i do love the emotion you put into it. maybe some metaphors and a bunch of other razzle dazzle could of made this thought your own. but i do love the place this poem put me. very good job especially on the flow.
