Alas that this may be the final night verse

Hello! This might be a relatively short review compared to the last one ToT
It’s catsz here to drop a review for review day! Let’s dive into it!
The title is very eye catching, because it is a sentence and not a word. That’s very unique when writing poems, and it makes me wonder what it’s about! Great hook you’ve got there.
I love the pattern of lines and stanzas, really makes it stand out! The switch between fonts adds like an extra touch. The rhythm is smooth and easy to read.
Ah, I love the symbolism! Starting with the line in the name of God helps us figure out what the real meaning of this poem is. Including the title in the second line is creative and you did it without force. The third line “cruel beauty” is eye catching, because it symbolizes how some things are beautiful, yet dangerous or cruel. At least…that’s my interpretation of it.
It can also symbolize lost love, the fourth and fifth line. How their memory is forever stuck, yet they could forget about the narrator so easily, despite the impact they had on them.
The sunset stanza only pushes it further! How sunsets never last, yet are beautiful in the moment, the narrator doesn’t want their love perhaps to forget about them.
DAGGG the rhyme scheme! It’s so smooth and simple, yet the words are well thought out.
It talks about before, manipulators often give you treasure, and spoil you and lift you high, but time reveals their true nature, and they throw you out like a worthless piece of trash. Such a great part, might be my favorite!
I love how each stanza ends with don’t forget me, and I embrace the impact and importance of how the writer written it.
The imagery and personification (liek tired bricks) emphasizes the comparison and things that the narrator had to go through.
The dark and earthy skin is such a good description. And how the narrator can practically taste their worth tells me they want to go back and give him or her another chance.
Something about your rhyme scheme just is so satisfying to read! Continue doing this!
I have no words to express how beautifully this piece was made. Thank you so much for sharing, and happy writing!

Alas that tonight, my hate towards reading poems has been slightly reduced.
Hiyaaaaaaaaaa
Disclaimer- I yap too much and I'm genuinely sorry for all the torment you'll be put through reading my review

I don't like reading poems very much and YWS is the only reason I'm doing it,thus my lack of knowledge in poetry.
And it's sad to say, i cannot admire your poem from its use of poetic devices or 'technicality' or give you advice.

Nevertheless it's infallibly not a reason to NOT enjoy such good poetry, that is hard to come across.

Beginning with how your poem is structured-
I, ofcourse, can notice your rhyming scheme AABA but it is the usage of the semicolons that is refreshing.
I don't remember the last time I read a poem with that. I think it creates this 'breathless' or 'overwhelming' effect which I genuinely like.
I don't think it could have been used better.

Staza 1 and 2
The poet expresses their grief about seeing their beloved for the last time on the final night. They are afraid that however cruel the beloved's beuaty might be, its fading memory will torture them forever.
Their is interesting usage of words throughout the poem.
Your last line of the first stanza is great metaphor. It describes that their presence was merely a 'drip of peony dew' as in meagre.

I must admit my weakness and say that, some of these lines are going to be beyond my perspective and thus the ucertainity in this review. However, I think, this what I admire about the poem.

We begin with personification in the 2nd stanza where the 'sweating' sun is said to be bleeding. This invokes some imagery as well, referring to dusk. The poet says that this natural cycle will always make them reminisce their beloved.

Stanza 3,4,5 and 6- Speedrunning a lil
The poet continues, talking about the pleasure that the beloved has taken from their life. Yet, their sense of gratitude remains as they talk about the hope the beloved has given.
My morality would say its guilt but nevertheless...

To note, we see yearning i the 1st stanza but the 4th stanza added on it, as if, it were obssesive. They say that even when stripped of all strenght, they want the beloved there, to write them notes they'll never send.

We get more imagery, when the poet describes the beloved in the 5th and 6th stanza. They describe the immense power the beloved has over them but the beloved remains indifferent. The speaker vows to love and remember the beloved even when their physical beauty fades into decrepitude.

We lean more into the 'prophetic' love the poet has, in stanzas 7-10.
In stanza 7, the poet describes how lonely and pathetic they have become without the presence of the beloved.

Stanza 8-10 might have been my favourites.
The poet describes to see her eyes in the secenery outside their window, specifically again the dusk ( atleast i think so)
Even as they might lost their ability to see, they will forever cherish their memories together.

Stanza 9- This stanza captures the agonizing reality of a painful parting. The poet laments that this difficult night must end, wishing instead that the torture of the farewell could last forever to avoid the total absence of the beloved.

The final stanza reflects on past vulnerability, recalling a shared secret that was met with rejection. It is diffucult to understnad how the poet still worships this person like a deity. Despite the emotional cruelty, the warmth of the past still lingers, prompting a desperate plea to never be forgotten.

Well that was long....
Genuinly, its been very long since I read something so pretty and so ugly.
The writing mesmerizes me and the emotions behind it almost hurt me.
I have nothing to say more.
But if i ever end up writing poems, (with my own whimsical twist ofc ) I think this brilliance would be what I aspire for.

Love,
the unofficial yapper of YWS
