Lullbies of Old by ~Dance-in-Shadow:iconDance-in-Shadow:

Categories Literature > Poetry > General Poetry > Open




Lullabies of broken chains and
distant melodies
over a cracking loud speaker.

Frozen time creeps by ever slowly,
moving at the pace of a flower
with the first frost.

Shattering ice falls
unbroken.
Pavement slick with
falling moonbeams.

Scrapes on the face
of time show vividly against
the dew soaked ground.

Moving as one
they never make a sound.
Through fields and forests
they crawl. Feeding on the sorrow
of frozen time.

Broken chains and frigid
lullabies, melodies of long ago.
Sing with eerie elegance.

If you listen close you can hear
the beating slow, as silver stones
rain from the sky.

Burst wires scatter stars,
giving new meaning
to bitter lullabies of old.

IT seems as if you were wishing to tell a story. That's what I get the feel of your poem. Other than that it's Beautiful.

The CDs I burned you? How those songs changed?

It talked about a flower, too.

That sounds like it could be right, but also, there are the creatures, which don't fit into that, but what you said could be part of the meaning.

But without knowing the meaning or not is it decent?

wow I like this. I like how it's kind of vague and how one has to actually think what it's about. I think it's about how life used to be filled with a lot of noise that sounded like lullabies and all the sounds were so peaceful and everything was beauitiful..and now..everything's dying away...all the beautiful things are deteriorating and all the sounds are dying away. hmm yea..lol. I like this a lot.
