From night's cold fear to morning's sigh,
two hearts met hope in lonely gaze;
true happiness replaced harsh cries
and sun shone on to share its rays.
Such love had lingered here awhile
from night's cold fear to morning's sigh,
to aid with strength and calm with smile,
from touch to taste, from hand to eye.
So many chances passed us by
while we got lost in whims and dreams;
from night's cold fear to morning's sigh,
from dusk to dawn and on, it seems.
Oh how we prayed truth would prevail,
yet honest tongues found ease with lies
and now torn hearts know how to fail
from night's cold fear to morning's sigh.

Very Good
Very nice poem, I interpreted it as the rise and fall of emotions between two people, even though that may not be the meaning. Either way, its very well written.

This is very interesting
Love stories in so many lines can be very dificult to portray. With this poem it was the rise and fall of it all in only a few stanzas.. I love it because of the choice words you used to describe it all.
I like the line that keep coming up in the poem, "from night's cold fear to morning's sigh."
It adds to the wax and wane of the poem.
