When darkness comes across the sea,
and when tears fall, like crystal leaves.
A dream shall die, and say farewell.
For all things come to die again...
An evening turns to a nightmare.
And children weep through the stormy air.
The lightning strikes, the souls of men.
For all things come to die again...
Shadowsong, my shadowsong.
This soft farewell, my shadowsong.
And those two stars, who guided us,
never rise and fall to dust.
What shall we do? When peace has died?
And Shadowsongs, do turn the tides?
There is a song, inside my heart.
It tries to fight the Shadowsong.
This haunting scream, this shadowed thing.
It cannot fade, till we believe.
Believe in love, and the winds of life.
Believe in Cobalt skies above.
Our dreams will thrive, if we believe.
And pray away this Shadowsong.
I sing this song, to you my dear.
Your voice it calls, to me, so sweet.
I drink your cries,
I smell your hair,
The Shadowsong cannot touch us here.
Shadowsong, my shadowsong.
This soft farewell, my shadowsong.
And those two stars, who guided us,
never rise and fall to dust.
What shall we do? When peace has died?
And Shadowsongs, do turn the tides?
When the light disintegrates.
Can we really trust, to whom we pray?
And so I say, oh Shadowsong...
Leave us now, and drift this day.
Please tell me what you think

I love this, Semma!!!
You've written a hauntingly beautiful piece here. It feels like a song, a wistful piece brimming with emotion, hope and pure artistry.
Very well written
And thank you for reading and commenting on some of my poetry. It's much appreciated it led me to yours... what a pleasant surprise on both counts I'll be reading more of yours, too.

Hi, just passing through...That was amazing! Beautifully written. I loved the way you rhymed. My favorite part(s) were 1-8, 16-27. And the way you finished it off. You did a wonderful job. Absolutely magnificant. It was put together beautifully. And tied of with such elegance(sorry for any misspelling). You did a wonderful job. I'd love to see more poems by you. Keep up the great work.
