Sweetest Escape.

by Courageous Dreamer   Jun 30, 2010


Pensive beneath summer skies,
tangled in country melodies,
I trace clouds with my fingertips
and with each strum of guitar,
familiar lyrics become tattooed on my heart;
a connection between life and song-
of you and me.

Romantic rhythms weaved together,
tell of a story,never ceasing to soothe my soul.
Spellbound by words of beauty,
happiness electrifies me.
A smile teases my lips with each phrase sung,
it is then I think of you, I feel your soft presence.
This is my sweetest escape.

    A rather interesting write. something that does sound better and has a more clear music to it with each time read. really. though i would say that you use a bit of unneeded words, that you could easily remove.

    '' and with each strum of guitar,
    familiar lyrics become tattooed on my heart;
    a connection between life and song-
    of you and me.''

    you can easily remove ''of'' here

    '' Romantic rhythms weaved together,
    tell of a story,never ceasing to soothe my soul. ''

    you can remove ''tell of'' and i think it should be ceased not ceasing? (just a thought?) especially with ''weaved'' above? don't know, they sound a bit strange.

    ''A smile teases my lips with each phrase sung,
    it is then I think of you, I feel your soft presence.
    This is my sweetest escape. ''

    I think you can remove the ''I'' before feel and ''this is'' before ''my sweet escape''.

    It's a bit strange i've never read any of your work before. or maybe i've did older ones? no idea. hope i've helped. and i do know it depends on the way you read the entire piece. so if by any means it reads better your way then leave it as is. keep writing.
