Write Me A Melody

WRITE ME A MELODY

 

Sing me a song.

Write me a melody

Of times gone by

And moments lost in time.

 

Stroke the keys.

Massage the ivories.

Raise your voice high

Until I hear your words.

 

Words of hope and loss.

Sing them loud and clear.

Stories of faraway​ places

And times that are long gone.

 

I close my eyes.

I can still hear your words.

I can see your fingers

Stroking the black and white.

 

Your words have taken flight.

They reverberate through time.

They have left your lips

To land on mine.

 

A sweet melody

To soothe my advancing years.

A pretty song
​
​To wipe away my empty tears.

A beautiful poem that implants lingering notes. Even more than words, it tells a story of love that is not forgotten.

Sorry, no music from this end as I have a tendency to kill with my voice & lack of singing. My singing could be described as singeing the vocal chords :) -e-

Adding melody to a poem conveys the words with much more emotion than just a poem standing alone. Your poem conveys this feeling very well, and is a song in itself.

The words and music to, “I Get By With a Little Help From My Friends,” are running through my mind right now.

Cool write, but you don't want me to sing. I couldn't carry a tune in a bushel basket.

There is nothing like a song, sung by a loved one, to uplift our spirits.
