Last Moments

Last Moments

you lay in silence as your body is old and tired. a tear still on your cheek, i brush it away gently. your eyes begin to get heavy, as do mine, and your body starts to relax, i fight to hold you close and listen as you draw each breath, as shallow as they may be. i kiss your lips and close my eyes knowing that when i open them again we will be in Heaven together.

Please go back and check for grammer mistakes, such as captitalization. Even poetry (if this is poetry being unique with its versing) uses a degree of grammer. This sounds like a short exerpt from a larger story though. It's cute.

This sounds more like a poem and I've never read a poem in this fation. Still good though... :-)

Alright, well... No, is about all I can say. Poetry (usually) is in verse, or if it isn't going to be in verse, learn the rules before you break them.


All I can say is read what I said on your other poem. You need to consider adding poetic devices, imagery, metaphor, etc. Keep in mind that a poem should share something with the reader, it should make them feel, or think, or look at the world in a different way. What is this doing for your reader?
