Sing me a lullaby
With your sweet voice
And drown down all echoes
Of even the most thundery noise
Weave me a blanket
Of your soothing arms
And hold me close to you
Far from world’s grave harms
Breathe me a kiss
Of your tender care
And save me from dying
From an attack of despair
Recite me a story
From your soul’s page
And lightly open my mind
To the wonders of a new age
Build me a home
With your affection
And watch my eyes shine
While I look in your direction

Recite me a story
From your soul’s page
Beautiful!
Yaaayyy..thanks, Ruthie.. your encouraging comments always keep me motivated to write more!! THANK YOUUUUU
Such a beautiful poem…it has a feeling of tranquility to it.
Thank you so much, Charles… such must be the language spoken from a child’s eyes.. don’t you think ?
this is beautiful!! i was wondering if it could be made a song!
Woohoo! Thanks, Ram… try singing it… and lemme know.. 🙂 I would LOVE to hear it sung…
Bravo again! Kavita. Btw, since you are a poet you might want to chime in with your favorite poems of all time back at my blog. I would love to hear your recommendations, and I’m sure my readers would too. 🙂
Ohhhh… thank you ever so much, Ollin!! That’s very kind and generous of you…. I would love to do so!! But by favorite poems, do you mean from the ones I have written myself? Or in general, my fav. poems by my fav. blogger friends? Either way, lemme know how and where to do it, and I would be most eager to!
“Sing me a lullaby”
“Weave me a blanket”
“Breathe me a kiss”
“Recite me a story”
“Build me a home”
All the first lines of each stanza put together form a small poem… 🙂
The last four lines are simply superb…Great work…
hehehe… so glad you read it that way, Sumit… that’s EXACTLY how I intended it to be read when I had written this one.. thanks for understanding, S..
Oh I mean in general. Like I mentioned I enjoy Frost, Lorca, and Kipling. Just wondering what famous or nonfamous poets inspired you and share them with my readers. You can leave a comment on my blog: http://www.thecourage2create.com The post is titled: “3 poems you must read before you die.”
On a similar note, however, I was considering you for a guest post in 2011. If you are interested you can use my contact page on my blog. I was thinking either you can write a poem or talk to my readers about how to be more poetic in your writing.
Oohhh… both the prospects sound most exciting! I would be delighted to give my favorites on your blog post!! And thanks for the invite for the guest post! That’s most kind of you, Ollin.. I considered myself honored!! I have never done such a thing before.. so it’s really up to you whether you want me to write a poem for/on your blog, or have me talk to your readers about my poetic escapades and muses… 🙂
Thank once again for your kind consideration! 😀 Gee… I am gloating already!!
Maybe you can do both? Well anyways, why don’t you contact me through my contact page and we can discuss the details. 🙂
Will do… VERY soon!! Year end, new year, birthday… all around the corner.. So, I am kinda excited about all of that for now 🙂
No worries. Yeah once the holidays are over we will discuss. Happy Birthday and Happy New Year!
Gee… thanks for everything, Ollin.. I have been super lazy in replying (for the past month or so).. my apologies for that 😦
very sweet kavita…..
Like your comment in my blog…. Keep it up!!!!
Kisses,
Haisley
Awww…. thank you so much, Haisley… you are very kind…
