my lullaby

[lucidnightmares]

well iv`e neglected my poetry for alittle while now and i thought i should at least try and find my way back into this wonderful world.
this one may be alittle rushed, maybe took 30 minutes or so....so yea enjoy, or not either way just let me know:D





a lullaby whistles through my ears
as memories dance within
faces fade, eyes lose luster
even the blade of remembrance dulls with time

the blade which once drew blood from dreams
the edge of light cutting through sorrow
now shatters before the fortress of time
impenetrable, lonesome, psychosomatic prison

for each new memory replaces the next
soldiers marching onward for eternity
dreams, desires, life and death
i shall lose them all and gain just as much

but even as they die, the memories never leave
for i bury them in shallow graves, unmarked stones
only to have them unearthed by something long since past
for memories never die, never fade, never fall

i put them away, lost the key long ago
stumble upon it only to find the lock that never was
something that can`t be found through effort
only through chance, a beautiful mistake

and i always return to my lullaby somehow
the rhythm dances and rises and floats within the air
a cloud in a sky of ash, purity within the pain
to ease my mind, cleanse my heart, lift my soul

There are some great lines and poignant thoughts in this but it needs to be condensed somewhat.

[Pendragon]

Chop the last stanza, and you got a good poem! The last stanza is like an anchor you don't require. A lullaby should float, anyway...
