"Remembered"

When darkness falls
and cities crumble

When dust layers shroud
and mountains rumble

I'll remember

When oceans overcome
and empires shatter

When a lost one calls
and feels they don't matter

I'll remember

When my heart breaks for you
and your crafted demise

When all the world
inevitably dies

I'll remember

When the world is succumbed by night
and all that's left is despair

When only a voice in your heart
tells you of what was once there

I'll remember

I'll remember the majesty and power
the endless teeming dreams

all the sweeping fields of amber
and all that life can ream

I'll remember all the dashing lakes
and miracle skies

All the boundless stakes
set impossibly high

On the magic here.
All the world now shakes in a tremor

And as it all falls to pieces
You know

I'll remember
It is often said that before you die your life passes before your eyes. It is in fact true. It's called living. (Terry Pratchett)

Passing by, passing trials;
passing life as in denial

Wow rebelle-I really liked this poem. It had a majestic quality to it that I didn't expect. Very nicely done! The only part that I have a problem with is in the first part when you say "I'll remember." It just seems to catch in the poem. Like the poem had a nice lyrical tone to it, and then it just jolts to a stop and says, "I'll remember." I really like the poem, but I would suggest finding a way to keep the wonderful lyrical quality you had. Great job though!

That was my favorite part. :D

I like this. Majestic, like writingluver said. Although I think the 'I remember's add a lot to the rhythm, and keep it from getting too sing-songy.

When my heart breaks for you
and your crafted demise

This is my favorite stanza.

When all the world
inevitably dies

This one I liked less; It's kind of a letdown next to your other lyrical images.

I love this bit too.

I'd think about adding some punctuation if I were you, just to separate the ideas a bit. Especially since you have that one period, it looks like the whole first part of the poem is meant to be one sentence.
Overall, very nice job. You pulled the rhyming off very well.
Siempre, siempre: jardin de mi agonia,
tu cuerpo fugitivo para siempre,
la sangre de tus venas en mi boca,
tu boca ya sin luz para mi muerte.

-From 'Del amor imprevisto', Federico Garcia Lorca
