John Gondolf Poet Rhyme

Please Stay With Me For Just Awhile

Please come to me in morning light,
      and show to me your sunshine smile.
   Remove from me the dark of night;
         please stay with me for just awhile.

It’s been so long since I’ve known love;
      the loneliness puts life on trial.
   I pray to heavens up above;
         please stay with me for just awhile.

These dark emotions deep within
      forever cause a heart’s defile.
   Come help remove this dreadful din;
         please stay with me for just awhile.

Subconsciously I always knew
      there’d be a lover to beguile;
   sincerely now I beg of you,
         please stay with me for just awhile.

Remove from me this ball and chain,
      and show to me your sunshine smile.
   Until I’m on my feet again,
         please stay with me for just awhile.

I enjoyed the repeating refrain gives it a song-like feel, at least it does for me. John Gondolf October 14, 2019 at 7:44 AM Thank, John, I appreciate your comments. This is the second poem that I've used a repeating refrain. It seems to work well. John
