For the MaestroA Poem by J.V. StanleyI'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
