Songless Nightingale

Songless Nightingale

A Poem by St.Jimmy
"

My first sensible ballad,rising above the concept of stinking and boring lovey dovey crap

"
 Once there was a nightingale
The Glory of the yellow dale
Like a damless river,her voice flowed
With melody, the whole dale echoed


But her jealous fella birds
Murdered her spirit,by the swords of words
With tears she lost,in the melancholy sky
Until her wings resisted to fly


Landed at a distant place
The Glory lost her Grace
Her Heart Broke like a crystal toy
But there she met a lonely boy


"O! My Songless Nightingale
I beg you,to stop your wail",he said.
Unexpected,but she heard his request
And headed her beak towards the west


The boy followed with a gentle smile
And reached a shoreless isle
Where there were no more noises
And the Glory recollected her rejoices

The place consisted of heaven and of hell
And sitting on the scaffold of well
Glory gained her melody back again
But this time it echoed pain


Boy heartily listened to the song
But could sense something wrong
Behind the ominous banyan tree
But her voice made him carefree

Behind the tree,there was a hunter
Fired his gun,like a thunder
Which pierced the heart of the Glory
Forever,and silenced all her melody
Forever,..........


With silenced emotions she fell
Into the depths of the unending well
Boy cried that he couldn't save
His friend lying in her grave


"O! My friend,my Nightingale
Why you left me amidst of sail?
Let me clean your wounds and blood
Let me see you,make my eyes flood"

Sprung out of the well was her live spirit
Brought an essence to the aroma,and lit
The spirits of dead,
And said,


"O!My friend,my saviour,my guide
You were the one to bring me delight
But one more request can I make?
Will you make this place a memorial for my sake?"


Since he made that noble choice
He was gifted with her soothing voice
