poorly said: "fragrant colors are riot near" I most enjoyed the first 2 stanzas and the last one. The poem captures strong emotion.

canescent moon? having grey or white down? Did not fit, to me. Loved the lines: "I will drown like the Egyptians/ For the weight of water/ Is lighter than this burden of lost love." Gorgeous! Not clear why sands would be called "blasphemous"- Think in to should be "into"- Sounds like she committed suicide? Not sure. Or was drowned accidentally? And you want her to come back- so you can drown together? I get the allusions to Passover- when the Israelites fled Egypt but then the Egyptians chasing them drowned-- and is the "8 nights" a reference to the eight nights of Chanukkah? Why mix two different holidays? Might recommend using 10 to reference the 10 plagues supposedly visited on the Egyptians. Perhaps!

Too disjointed

You move from "I" to "you" - I recommend keeping the same point of view throughout the whole poem. some poor lines: 'Every barrier I had, you went right through it" _forcing lines that are not correct grammar just to get the rhyme is not useful: as in "you have forgot"-"will sin the stone". Hope this is useful.

world's ; to lose (not loose); sounds stiff: "so the blossoming of the flowers must soon begin"- spring's meadows --Liked the last 2 lines!

A child's scream OR children's screams (both plural)- "their own creed"- some strong emotion captured, but not all lines are equal to the task. "a dead brother will hold you tight"- worth reworking. "tomorrow's generation" - "aren't"- Some people on this web site object to being told corrections, saying these are rough drafts. Rough drafts are fine- the corrections offered can help with the next draft.

Re: ''*Night*'' by youngweirdo	Jill Stockinger 127.0.0.1	27-Dec-20/4:45 PM
I really like the last 2 lines: "And it's all in the night/ When the wind is cold." Could not really make sense out of: "A mist seeps down and sweeps people up"
