That Taste (short song w/recording)

by Maher   Jul 9, 2016


Dear memories,
have you come to me
to remind me of my dues?
Every breath
in amnesty;
these eyes fall to recluse.
Sifting through,
night by night;
this heart, it cries a tune.
Distance grows
as dull crows fly
to a waterless lagoon.

Dear darling,
did you dig down deep
a well that bares no conscience?
That taste,
that one nostalgia,
now drawn to evanescence.

Picture us
on coloured sands
that the sea is shy to touch.
In every break,
a reprimand:
such a life was not for us.

Dear pretty,
would you hide your smile
from my vision - so sublime?
Those lips,
the teeth they shelter
and the tongue that snores behind.

How long
shall I remain a child
to a love beyond my time?
I pray
a call from heaven
would excuse these tears of mine.

I've only just recorded the guitar & drums track for now, but it should give an idea of how it should sound. Might do vocals later though if it gets enough interest. YouTube link below:

    "This heart, it cries a tune.
    Distance grows
    as dull crows fly
    to a waterless lagoon..."--These lines alone convey such despondency and emotion, Maher. When coupled with the entirety of your song, it is a melancholic masterpiece.
    ~Bravo, Maestro.
    Play On!
