Old Friend

by Beautiful Chaos   Jan 13, 2009


Under cover of darkness
I search for the moon
Inside my head plays
A lonely old tune

Lyrics repeating
How love had been lost
Hearts that were shattered
Dreams that were tossed

Don't wish to listen
Just need an old friend
Who hangs in the sky
And doesn't pretend

It's just there to listen
Glowing with grace
Waiting to heal
What we wish to erase

The night is so calming
People sleep sound
Just out in the darkness
An old friend I found

Loyal and trustworthy
Gone much too soon
Must rush to meet him
My old friend the moon

    i love rhyming that is not forced. such as the verse above (also my favorite part of this piece. This poem is like i told you in my message "well put together". I believe that you achieved your goal with this piece. The message is simple, yet described in a beautiful complex way. I would like to see how the poem would play out if you never really come out and say you are talking about the moon. Simply let the reader assume it. Which, could have been done by what you have written. I enjoyed it, and thankyou for thinking out your poem rather than thrwing emotions on paper and calling it art.

    This poem sounds a bit like it was meant to be sung to quiet strumming. It has a beautiful, gentle flow.
