For the Maestro

A Poem by J.V. Stanley
"

I've written poetry nearly all my life and figured it was about time I'd try my hand at songwriting so I spent an entire evening comming up with these lyrics. Haven't had a chance to work on the musical score to go with it just yet. Not entierly sure if

For the Maestro          J.V. Stanley                                      March 2008
 
 
 Silence harkens melodies,
The symphony within my mind
A cacophony of words imagined,
In truth they’re only lies
Within my desperate loneliness
I’m compelled to sing,
Upon this barren plane I retreat
into mindless reckoning
 
 
Chorus:
I wait, the overture brings you there,
Vanish with me, in the music
Corrupt me with your melody
Create your masterpiece
 
 You drift into the mist of dreams
Your thunder through my heart
The storms of silence have waited so long
It shall retreat, I’ll soon depart.
The remnants of your clamor
settle soft upon the rests
Of tarnished untimely nothingness
All deaf in hollow breast
 
Chorus:
I wait, the overture brings you there,
Vanish with me, in the music
Corrupt me with your melody
Create your masterpiece
 
 
I cast away this lie, another casualty
Within my desperate loneliness
I’m obliged to sing,
I pray that harmony may bring you there,
So you’ll vanish with me, in the music
Corrupt me with your melody
Make me your masterpiece

As a poem it is wonderful, the sense of longing is perfectly brushed and depicted. I love the repetition of "Create your masterpiece" very much and indeed the "Make me your masterpiece" at the end. It is catchy and expressive enough to be kept in mind all along the poem. As a song, the middle paragraph is a bit too long in comparison with the first and last so you might have difficulty adapting the same tune for all of them. Indeed, I still do not have any clue how the music will be!Hope it will come out good!

The rhythm is off and stumbles a fair bit throughout.

A poem consisting of the middle stanza followed by the 4 lines of the chorus has an impact and a power that draws me as a reader/listener.
