Sweet lullaby take me away
Cuddle me in you arms
Help me find peace one more day.

Lay your head down, sleepy head
Maybe one day you'll wake up dead
Like you always wanted to
The future is so loose when you can't sleep
But I know I slumbered once because I know you from a dream

Sweet dreams and melodies are what make me feel so sad
I close my eyes to hear your songs even though I know they're bad
Last night's memories are what make me feel so mad
I closed my heart then we had our laughs and I went back home to bed

I like the you in my dreams more than I like the you in my reality

In My Dreams

Sometimes
I see him in soft shapes
and I can feel he
is fathomless

All beauty showing in
wild plumes of energy

We began this love affair
on the other    side  of  sleep

Him    there
luring me gently
with  his  kisses
like a  sweet lullaby

And me
waiting impatiently
to fall deep  into a
fatal sleep

If you're lucky love will come find you in your dreams. It's true.

Bite Me

Hot surge
In our bellies
we dipped from
cherried shores

Tongues raw
from the singe
of hunger

We paused between
each satiated strum

Our sighs melted
between each breath

We bit into the
veins of
Our longing
And died
dripping from
our mouths

Vampirey-ish, I guess.

Lullaby

Sing me something from the heart
to calm my storms;
I will let your voice wash over me,
drowning my sorrows,
quenching my fears.

Hum a melancholy tune
to remind me how precarious life is,
how easily destroyed dreams can be.
Serenade me with songs of love--
love that lasts forever in a heart beat.

Lull me to a restful slumber
and let tomorrow take me in its arms.

My Love (Lullaby)

Hush now, my love
Don't you cry
Nightingales sing your lullaby.
Rest now, my love
Close your eyes
Sweet dreams till sunrise.

Oh, my precious one
You're the song I sing
To Heaven above.
Close your eyes
And dream sweet dreams
Sleep now, my love.

I had listened "Noble Maiden Fair" from Brave several time to find inspiration for a traditional lullaby. A relationship between a mother and child.

I want to compose a melody that would sound Celtic-related. I admire New Age songs because every melody a singer sings makes it relaxing, emotional and serene.

This lyric is short and descriptive, but I hope I find a way to make it sound serene as though I would hear it in a forest, meadow, over a mountain, or from the waves of the sea. God, help me.

Believe me, I can play a piano, but it takes a lot of brainstorming and hard work. Plus, I'm an amateur when it comes to reading music. It's like reading a new language. It stresses me out, too.

Zzzzz...

My arm becomes your pillow
My voice your music
My rhymes your lullabies
I tell to myself one last rhyme
But it takes atleast fifty for you to sleep

My Father

While the world slept,
My father stayed awake.
With all his might left,
He stayed just for my sake.

He sang to me,
Patted me to sleep.
I could feel his eyes on me
Watching me breathe.

I remember being in his arms,
On his lap as a baby
Holding him tight with my charms,
He’d say I was his little lady.

I grew up, I grew tall and I grew
Stronger, weaker, colder, warmer
There my father stood as he knew
I’m a handful, but I’ll always remain his loving daughter.

Bride's Lullaby

Grandma, sing a lullaby
The fine tune you made for me

I want all the fireflies, the
Glass bottle and light an entire night

Where are my milkweeds
Aeroplanes, milk and honey?

I stood with my umbrella
And the wind took it with her

For the tempest outside my land
And no news returned

There’s my Grandma, her voice
That ooze out of my walls

You’re the bride, the picture
The house and a forgotten lullaby

Grandma, sing a lullaby
The fine tune you made for me

The Night

Whispers of the Moon
Sing Lullabies
To the soothing children
But we are still up exploring,
The wider world of Love.
We are drowned in
Each other's presence
And destined to sing the unearthly songs
But when you have such
Love
Between two people
Who were drawn together
By Kismet,
Not even the chattering crickets
Become a Nuisance
To the Love that
Remains undaunted.
