This is a little more abstract than I usually go. I'm trying all kinds of styles and I tried to shape this one a little like a ballad, or an ode. So, give me some feedback, what you thought. Critisizm welcome. Thanks. Very Happy


A Song For Silent Departures

Just go ahead and sleep tonight,
No there's no need to feel a fright,
Lay down, as I tell you goodnight,
Sweet dreams,
Sweet dreams,
Sweet dreams,
Oh can you feel the starlight beams?

I've got a thought you won't believe,
A flame that was hard to concieve,
I've saved for you a long reprieve,
Breathe soft,
Breathe soft,
Breathe soft,
And will you think of me as oft?

So if you leave without a note,
If you don't even take a coat,
Your worthy name I will denote,
Waken,
Waken,
Waken,
And tell me, was I mistaken?

This poem has definite song-like qualities. I like the simple, repetive structure. You would probably need to repeat the last line of each stanza to make it really singable.
