#song poems on Hello Poetry

Sophia Aug 5

My life would be complete
If I were to die right now
All because of this song
That has blasted in my ears
for only the past twelve minutes
but I'm sure I'll listen to it for another hour
before I finally drift to sleep
with the music still in my ears
so if I didn't wake up
as least I died happy

I don't know how many understand this feeling
the notes connecting with your soal
so they sing in harmony
as a wave of relaxation crashes over you
to the beat of this rhythm
that you'll sure you'll never forget
so that when your sixty
you'll tap your feet the same as you do now
and feel this joyful emotion
in your final waking hours
because I don't think I'll ever connect to anything more than I do to this melody

This poem is about 'Cats and Dogs' by Seb Lowe, go check it out if you feel like it

the softest ovation.

(a tribute to richard walters)

under the soft stage light
richard walters performed
a song called awards night
he’d written about elliott smith.
my heart ached quietly
for the ghost his voice carried.

sofar fairy –
as i call her in my head –
said i looked like
i was in the clouds,
living in the memory
of someone else.

his energy followed me
into the next morning at work.
half-stunned, half-joking,
they’d insinuate
my joy must have come
from someone’s warm embrace.

how could i explain to them,
that music and words
can whisper through your ribs,
settle in your chest,
and lift you higher
than any touch permits?

richard’s voice just lingered
like the aftertaste of honey,
like rain caught in leaves.
i carried him home in my pulse,
where elliott still lives,
softly whispering between
the notes of his guitar strings.

this one is about the quiet ecstasy only art can bring.

In your smile, my Dear

In Your Smile, My Dear

In your smile, my dear,
I See infinite beauty,
Sublime dreams,
Happiness,
And hidden secrets.

In your smile, my dear,
I discover a safe haven
And a welcoming home.
I feel an ocean of love,
And the peace of a river.

I hear unspoken words,
Songs of the rain,
And the melodies of the birds.

I see the birth of a new spring,
I smell the fragrance of tulips and roses,
Witness a rainbow of hope and inspiration

Listen to best wishes and heartfelt prayers,
Read thousands of untold stories,
Watch the symphony of nature,
Behold sunshine, the full moon, and twinkling stars.

Almost Alive (Lyrics)

echo me close to your silence
trace me near to your sighs
soften me with your edges
and fall me into your eyes (could this be real, so real, so real)

melt me into your yearning
blur me into your need
where walls become like water
and this broken begins to heal (could this be real, so real, so real)

and fall me into your eyes, your eyes, your eyes.
almost alive, alive

color me with your whispers
paint me almost your dawn
where going is no longer coming
and leaving's almost gone (could this be real, so real, so real)

dance me through your defenses
float me through to your pain
pour me through your edges
till stone turns soft as rain (could this be real, so real, so real)

melt me into your yearning
blur me into your need
where distance becomes surrender
and stone begins to feel (could this be real, so real, so real)

and fall me into your eyes, your eyes, your eyes.
almost alive (could this be real, so real, so real)

stone walls falling
still morning breaking through
every step forward
almost into you (could this be real, so real, so real)

and fall me into your eyes, your eyes, your eyes. almost alive (could this be real, so real, so real)…
     and fall me into your eyes, your eyes, your eyes. almost alive…
          let's dance, let's dance, let's dance me into your eyes,
              your eyes, your eyes…
                   forever spinning into your eyes, your eyes, your eyes…
                       i'm almost alive, alive, almost alive…
                          i'm almost alive, alive, almost alive…

CantSeeMe Jul 31

That should be me

everybody's smiling in my mind
rumors spreading about a happy life

but you don't understand
it's your time to stand
give me your pain
I’ll turn it into rain
you'll be the sun
the rain will bow
its happening slow
it has begun

Did you forget? You can't be depressed.
rule number one, when you're masking it all
so let me take your pain
you’ll know fame
there's a world around here

cause that should be me
standing there
that should be me feeling so bad
that should be me lonely and sad

that should be me
that should be me

that should be me breaking apart
that should be me remembering the past
that should be me, it's going so fast

go on your way
it's only one day
make it the best
then get some rest

the sun you are
you’ve made it this far

that
should
have
been
me

Based on the song "That Should Be Me" by Justin Bieber. The original is about heartbreak, but I just wanted to make it clear, even if you're hurting, you still deserve the world. You are the sun, just watch it rain, and trust that a rainbow is coming. I'll take your pain...

Despair

Notes on a life not quite lived
Reckless thoughts not yet forgived
That showed how well I turned out
My past, my future: your hell
War was lost, but who's the winner?
Sometimes I wish I hadn't been her
Under a sky painted with dreams
You waited still for me

Here you are, once again
Betrayed by one you thought a friend
Like embers burn but never mend?
Like echoes call but meet no end?
You mourned the deception that never was
The lies, the trust, my sinless flush
"Two can play this game" they say
Can they?

But I let you run away
Storm out, it's empty greys now
Just look at your face
Never thought I'd save you then betray you
Lucrative choices made
Caught in the games we both played
Still see you there, still see your stare
Full of what I call despair

Venom trickles down your throat
Bought that love was what you spoke
I was a secret: you, an oath
We both swore we'd be there
What you believe is what you see
The truth was drowned in secrecy
I locked my heart and hid the key
I fed your hope for it to bury me

I let you run away
Storm out, it's empty greys now
Just look at your face
Never thought I'd save you then betray you
Lucrative choices made
But your ending came in vain
Still see you there, still see your stare
Full of what I call...

Written as a song with a melody.
Based on a little story I made in my head ;)

Meandering Words Jul 27

long and happily

yesterday
i took part in
a latvian wedding
even though
i had no idea
what i was doing;
we formed a circle
with burning torches
and sang and chanted
and screamed
performing rituals
that the fathers
of their fathers
once performed

i was told that
the male guests
had given the groom
the strength of a bear
while the bride
was given wisdom
and encouragement
for the years to come
the bride and groom
were then bound
with symbolic chord
blessings and song
joining them together
by hand and heart

without being able
to speak the language
i had to guess or
discreetly ask
for explanations
from other guests
to understand
the significance
of each part;
watching the bride
and groom however
it was clear immediately
their love needed
no translation

The moon

I’ll forget what joy feels like
But remember the weight
I’m cursed to lose in love
This sin was a bait
6’2” of a boy curled around kicked-in ribs
A recalcitrant heart met a colony kid

The moon looks like the one
Reigning over in February
Don’t come to London
Don’t scream “Why’d you leave me?”
Just because I don’t show it
Doesn’t mean I don’t feel it
Wish there weren’t a wall
Wish you could still be here with me

Dreamt of having Paris in the palm of my hands
You unsolicitedly wrecked all their plans
The swooniest moments, the toughest desires
But when the clock struck midnight,
Had to curse out our fire

Santal 33, stuck in closets, no keys
These were the answers you searched for so hopelessly
I set them down on the table
God, I need you to hear me
Warned I’d only be there
Momentarily

The moon looks like the one
Over the oak at the party
Don’t throw out the chain
Don’t curse the palace that keeps me
Away from my love, my joy, my ultimate fury
Wish there weren’t a wall
Wish you could still be here with me

I was raised in rooms with rules for walls
Taught to smile and never fall
Pillars built on stacks of gold
Future history foretold
They say I chose the higher road
But what’s a throne if I die alone?
Cause an ocean away with a reckless name
My true crown came calling at the bay
Don’t speak what wasn't spoken
Don’t look at me like I’m broken
The worst part is: I still love you
I’m sorry

The moon looks like the one
Reigning over in February
Don’t come to London
Don’t scream “Why’d you leave me?”
You’re what I need, my joy, my ultimate fury
But I can’t break the wall
Wish you could still be here with me
Be here with me

Written as a song with a melody.
Inspired by "Red, White & Royal Blue"

Yesterday's Rain (Lyrics)

I remember.
Sweaty palms,
Cherry bombs,
Sunday Psalms,
Your whoopin’s mom.
And I remember you...

Summer breeze,
Swaying trees,
Trembling knees,
Friday tease,
Searching so
desperately.
I remember you...

Do you feel the rain?
Yesterday’s rain.
Yesterday’s rain.

You...
Met you cussin’
on the old bus,
Lovely and delicious,
Sketchy and suspicious.
You - addictive and contagious…

Hoping you would notice.
Know this,
I remember you...

You..,
Thinking I’s a wise guy,
Beautiful and wide eyed,
Giving me the side eyes,
Wearing faded tie dye,
Ripping on your side
guy.
I remember you...

Do you feel the rain?
Yesterday’s rain.
Yesterday’s rain.

I was really reckless.
You were simply luscious,
I could not resist us.
I think you
stole my necklace.

Know this,
I fell in love
with you.

I got your number, baby.
Dancing in the summer baby.

But, you -
not falling
too...

Do you feel the rain?
With love there is
no justice.
Just this
pain.
And yesterday’s rain.
Dancing in
yesterday’s rain.

Yesterday’s rain.
Yesterday’s rain.
How, I fell in love
With you.

This song is best listened to - not read.

air through a larynx

I've lost your voice.
The world has gone silent.
All I hear are endless
echos bouncing from the walls of my mind.
I only wish to hear it
One last time.

a beautiful song.
