Life

Published on September 26, 2007 By dynamaso In Poetry

Life, oh life
So fragile and fey
As one begins
Another passes away
I might say goodbye
Adieu, farewell
Here is to heaven
And here is to hell

Life, oh life
So fickle and fleeting
As one heart slows
Another starts beating
I could take control
End this right now
Miss out on heaven
Go straight to hell

Life, oh life
So grand a scheme
As one desires
Another dares dream
You dream of ghosts
I dare the angels
Show me your heaven
I’ll show you my hell

Buried, interred
Under all theses days
Life, oh life
Sweep me away

I loved this part. Your poetry has such a strong "tempo." I hear the beat in my head when I read it.

I hear the beat in my head when I read it.

I was just thinking the same thing.

These really are gems to read.

Tova,

Thanks very much. Again, I'm pleased to have drawn you to a form you're not a particular fan of... Glad you liked this one.

Kelly,

Thanks to you too.

Roy,

Melodic could be the right word, with a good melody, of course. Thanks for your continued support, mate.

Serenity,

Thanks... I don't want to hurt you though.

Writing verse is actually very difficult for me, so I marvel at how effortless you make it seem.

Great job, Moskowitz

Buddah,

All the years writing lyrics have paid off. Of all the poems I've written recently, this is the one I am really considering writing some music for.

Thanks again for your continued support.
