I wish that I could dance with you
Beneath the starlit night;
Walk upon a silver moonbeam,
And bathe ourselves in light.

I wish the stardust in our souls
Would shine with all it’s might;
And never shall the fire in
Our hearts be doused by fright.

I wish you saw the light in you
That shines forever bright;
I wish the matches in your soul
Would strike and thus, ignite.

It is too dark, you cannot see
Past this shadowed night;
But dearest, if you only knew:
You’re a star in your own right.

All that I'm after is a life full of laughter, as long as I'm laughing with you.:)

Hi Knightly. :) I saw you posted and after reading this I decided to review your poem.

I wish the stardust in our souls
Will shine with all it’s might

Will should be would.

I wish you saw the light in you

Maybe it's just me, but the wording sounding a little awkward. I think it would sound better if you re-worded it as "I wish you could see the light in you"

Overall: This was such a beautiful poem. I love the way you worded it and the vivid descriptions from the poem. Knightly, you are a really gifted poet. I can't wait to see more of your works. Hope I helped. Keep writing

I loved this. It's a short, yet completely beautiful piece. I wish I could say more, but, really, that's about it. Keep writing!! :)

I actually really enjoyed reading this poem! It was short and to the point, it had a delightful rhyme scheme and didn't require several minutes to read nor a lot of brain power to appreciate. I love it. Keep up the good work!



Surround yourself with people who are serious about being writers, and who will tell you, ‘Hey—you can do better than this.’ Who will be critical of your work, but also supportive. And who will not be competitive in a negative way.
