Sing me a Song

Sing me a song to help me sleep,

So that I dream sweet fantasies

Instead of all to real realities.

 

As your voice rises and falls

to the melodies in the air

My mind clears.

And for that tiny second-

For the first time in months-

I can breathe like before.

 

I wonder why

I can only rest when you are near.

Could it be?

Your voice Rich and pure,

replaces every foul sound I hear.

 

So come closer,

my dear. Sing me to sleep.

So I dream sweet fantasies-

Dreams I hadn't had before you.

[*~Imperfectly Me~*]

Wow, I really liked this piece... I think many people can relate to this piece. I know that I have a few friends that can basically take the hurt away and just let me breathe. This was wonderful, the flow worked very well (as do all your poems) It had a good rhythm too... i felt myself swaying to it. Great job!

I also like this poem it makes me feel all peacful and tranquil inside. Nice write.

I really like your poem. It is sweet, gentle and loving
at sametime. And I got a feeling of compassion from
it as well. When I read it I got the picture of someone
not doing well, perhaps sick, and the person singing to them
brought them comfort.

I think the piece is beautiful and poignant. I feel as though someone just sang me a lullaby...the movement of your words is lyrical and soothing. The imagery you show is soft and silky which also induces a "sleepy" feeling. Calming and evocative. Thank you for sharing the amazing read.
