No Moon Floods The Memory Of That Night

A short-lived, but very well-written poem nonetheless. I think it revolves around the concept that people must do what is right, whether or not people will agree with them, whether or not people will be alongside them in their endeavor. I like the imagery and hyperboles used throughout the poem setting the mood of a bad day for the writer. It is such a dark and gloomy night, that the moon cannot be seen through the storm. It is interesting to see psychology play a role in these characters. The narrator starts off by saying that a revolutionary is a doomed man, but one that should be honored and revered, which scares the woman off, not wanting any children of hers to be doomed, even though it is for a good cause. Of course, this causes a conflict with the narrator as well because he wants to fight for freedom, but loses his loved ones in the process. My favorite lines were at the end where he says:
"No moon floods the memory of that night
Only the rain I remember the cold rain
And praying that like the rain
Returns to the sky you would return to me again."

Even though he continues to pursue his goals, he still thinks of her and hopes that she will return "like the rain returns to the sky".
