Always (Free verse) by hobojo
Like eternal sundowns
There you set
Like distant rain
You spill down
Like the oceans wave
There you are
Just beyond my grasp
Lingering in the distance
A constant reminder
Of pleasant memories
Sadness remains in knowing
You can only be my past
And in knowing that these memories
Will forever last

Don't. Repetetive redundancy? Eliminate it. If it's constant, then there's no need to say it'll last forever.
Do not ever cheapen what you are trying to express in such ways. You need to reconsider the way you go about constructing your poems. Become thy editor motherfucker!
Consider this:
You are the
eternal sundown
setting,
the distant rain
pouring down,
an ocean wave
receding-- lingering
in the distance just
beyond my grasp.
You are the ever-present
reminder of pleasant memories;
maintaining the sadness,
making me yearn for the past.
Yesterday has long since passed,
but you're still here,
always.
--That's just a quickie example. Notice the difference?- Clear, fluid, with a crisp finish.
It's not what you're saying, it's how you say it. Capiche? Find thy style and, by god, develop it.
