Seven Days ‘Till Dawn

A couple of days ago, I set about composing a poem with a set topic in mind. To be more exact, a poem with one line in mind as a topic. I have always felt lacking when it comes tonaming poetry that I compose.

The Title as you can see is “Seven Days ‘Till Dawn”. This has nothing to do with Lunar cycles or anyother scientific explaination.But more to do with the absence of a love, an occasion where one love has to be apart from the other for a period of time. Where the heart pines for the source of heartbeat that is the love , the hearts desire and reason for existance. Hence as time passes, seven days until the lovers unite again and thus the narrator whom is one love waits still watching the clock tick by.

Thus as the day draws near and seven days now remain for their reunion, he cries out “Seven Days ’till dawn” then the night time of their being apart will be at an end and dawn will rise in lonely hearts that pine for each other again.

Above you see the best possible way I can explain todays poem. It is a poem of love and a poem that has one wish for time to move faster so he again can reunite with his love, as a heart cannot beat without the source of its heart beat, or so he views it.

Having said that please enjoy.

Seven Days ‘Till Dawn




Always sitting here, seven days ‘till dawn,
An aching heart pines nowhere can be drawn.
A song silenced by your absence now lost,
Regardless the cost yet feeling still tossed.


Spinning bottles breaking silence still blue,
Playing the losing game again on queue.
Bridging between light and dark loves lost battle,
Seems like Seven years ‘till dawn I rattle.


Oh heartbeat, life’s fire, undying loves flame,
Like an eternity left feeling lame.
Your touch absent for now, sands slip slow now,
Return home my desired fire heed your vow.


As I linger here heart cut deeper still,
Bottles lay empty and barrel now will
Numb emptiness felt when you had to go,
Oh, heart cry of empty home, time goes slow.


Eager still I wait as that day comes soon,
Mind wanders ‘till noon strive to lift a spoon.
Seven seconds ‘till noon, still I can wait,
Seven days ‘till dawn, to lose this last weight.
