Reverie
I wrote a poem a while ago and then my friend was looking for something to turn into a song… so I offered it to her. This is the poem:
Reverie
A thought-clouded mist moves in upon the night,
Shadows of hope become hidden out of sight.
On the wings of reverie, I fly,
Daydreaming across a starlit sky.
Smoke turns to fire,
Devouring a celtic bire.
Mirrors forever lie,
Telling sweet dreams to die.
Kings come crashing down,
Bereft of title and crown.
Burns and scars will always stay
Until memory’s chain breaks away.
Whispers cry out against the pain,
But words will still remain.
Are things broken now blemished?
Or can they still shine undiminished?
Paper rents and steel melts in flood,
Only bitter ink will stain the blood.
The heart will flake away
Unless love paints anew each day.
Beware the knife-edged blade of hate may cut its strings,
Striking chords a dead bird sings.
Eyes shine with sunlight shades of tears
Hearts break confronted with lovers’ fears.
Tarnished jewels lie in wait
For fish who’ll swallow no other bait.
The web-mesh of fate,
Will not catch the one who’s late.
Wandering shoes are lost,
Drowned in burning frost.
Rhymes elude the starstruck poet,
But he’s afraid lest the king should know it.
Reverie’s wings break and shatter,
Dreams, after all, are the only things that matter.
And this is the song!
It’s called Words Will Still Remain and the singer is my friend, Juliana Cardine. Make sure to check out her YouTube channel and subscribe! She’s amazing.
