Life that's never-ending

In poetry

The whispers in the night
Are those of great surprise,
can’t seem to put it down
Seeping of life that’s never-ending
 
The light slowly dims
Heart beating in suspense
For what will come next
Words are never-ending
 
The urge to continue
For it not to end
Lives concluding
But stories are never-ending
 
The characters come to life,
Jump right in to my imagination
A breath of fresh air;
That world that’s never-ending
 
The story gets retold, reread
To generations to come
New thrills are found in
Stories, which never end.
 
The pages slowly crumble,
Get yellow and rip.
For others they fade to oblivion,
But for us they still exist.

Hi there,

I can't say I liked this poem very much - but I do really like the idea of it. Saying that, your last stanza is superb, it stands out from the others because it doesn't seem forced around the idea of "never-ending".

If you want to be abstract in your preachings of admiration as to a story that never ends, you need to be further-so. Skip out some words, for example:

The Light slowly dims
A Heartis beating in suspense
For Awaiting what will comes next
Words are never-ending that never die.

This suggestion also gets rid of the over-used "never-ending". By finding simply synonyms such as this, your work already sounds much more pleasing to read. And by taking out some of the grammatical words, your piece sounds simply more abstract and more engaging.

Of course, this is only a suggestion. What I'm trying to get at is if you keep working on this poem, you could have something rather admirable here. Don't just leave it at this.

Keep writing friend,
-B

Thanks, I get where you are coming from, truly. :)
