What a lucky bestie you have to receive a lovely poem like this. Your friend must be very special. I like the ecstasy of dreams twined with reality. Well done

I will stand as the stem is a great line. The poem is well written and sends a positive message, despite what you are going through I will be there for you. Good job!

Good Morning, Poet

I enjoyed reading your beautiful poem this morning. A poem of commitment and love is always a good read, and yours is no exception. My favorite lines are as follows:
Even when I depart
you will sense my presence
since nothing is immortal
in this mundane world

Lovely poem of friendship and solidarity to give as a gift. I liked the consistent structure with each section of two stanzas outlining a possible problem and the constant solution - you as the rock of friendship.

Unusual use of 'wane' - not usually a verb.

A couple of places where you may have reached for a more elevated word and possibly ot it not quit right e.g. vacuous and vacillate - actually quite different in meaning...

To let conscience reveal seems a little strange too - reveal is normally transitive so more usual would be reveal itself or be revealed...

Nice, though. Hope s/he likes it.

Steve

    Hi,

    I appreciate your comments. I have used 'wane' as a noun only. I will edit the rest soon. Thank you so much! :)

This is a great free verse poem about being there through thick and thin for your friend. Lots of alliterations and the imagery of your words kept me engaged from the start. I think your friend is lucky to have you. 8-

Good stuff. You very clearly care for this person, and your words show that very nicely. Good line balance, good flow from line to line.

All in all, a good poem. :)

Seems like it lacked flow. And by that I mean, the writing wasn't instantly understandable. It made you stop and think, instead of the writing blossoming effortlessly in your mind.

If you have someone read it out loud to you, you'll find they may hit a lot of road blocks. They will stop reading. They'll feel like it's more of a chore.

This poem is a wonderful commitment to be presented to someone you love. It is written very well and has a nice flow to the words which are very obviously intertwined with love and a desire to cherish this special person forever. Keep up the great writing.
