Driving miles down a desert road
Let all your emotion show
Tell me what ever was special about us
If only I could change your mind.

With this deep Limerance,
comes a shining light.
From the top of the mountain,
To the full mooned night.

When we looked in the past,
All we could imagine was Saudaded,
for this something meant to last,
Came and went with this quickening breath.

I know you watch the cars each night,
I know the other man is just ambivalence.
I know you're worth this tragic fight.
Use your strength for this struggling light.

It seems that you and I began,
from the thought that we will never end.
Looking through the car window.
To see you're coming home.

And on the window pane you sit,
as I run through the blackened gate,
into your arms grasp in deep,
my love into your heart it seeps.

Euphoria, Euphoria, here we breathe.
Not just a want, but our only need.
Then I find,
I feel this passion grow,
To face all that's been lost,
It's not too late to give control now.
Got YWS?

The punctuation was very odd. It made it difficult for me to tell where one thought started and a new one began. If this was your intention, I suggest refining the punctuation a bit so that it's easier to digest on the first read through. Otherwise, I say you should switch to standard punctuation.

I actually had to look up the term limerence (which I believe you've misspelled). XD You might consider including a little note about what the word means since it is fairly uncommon. Also, saudade is a noun, not a verb, therefore there shouldn't be a d at the end. You cannot saudade just as you cannot happy. It would be a good idea to include information on this word's meaning as well.

Overall, I have to ask whether or not you intended this poem to have a rhyme scheme or not. Right now, it could easily go either way. A lot of the lines rhyme, but then there are other lines that don't, and just when it seems you've a rhyme scheme set, you break it. I found this very jarring, personally.

The imagery was sparse, but I liked your word choices. Just be careful with the spelling and how you use it. Make sure you know a word well before you use it otherwise you run the very high risk of misusing of abusing it.

The changing of a ryhme scheme CAN work and it has been utlized, but it is difficult to pull a reader into a poem when the first stanza has no ryhme scheme. And if your planning to not use a ryhme scheme you need to be very strict about the syllable use so that the poem is still lyrical even without a ryhme.

I think the subject of this poem would be better expressed with a limited vocab use. I'm as guilty as the next with using complex words when simpler ones would do, but it seems that the rythm of this poem would be best served by simple language.

You use a very... interesting rhyming scheme. Other than that I like your use of words, though the images the poem created in my head were a bit abstract and befuddled. But all-in-all I thought it a worthy enough piece, good job!!! :D

(This pretty much means "If you want peace, be prepared for war")
