Neptune

Remembering Neptune
As it fell from the sky

Blue pearls wrapped in gold
a dreamer in disguise


Too scared to touch the stars
But you found me anyway

Too scared to touch the stars
As the music slowly fades
As the music fades away


Dream away Neptune
Dream another time

Fly across the sea
Hang ten on your rhyme

Catch another wave
And once more you'll find

Dream away Neptune
The stars are out tonight


Too scared to touch the stars
don't wait another day

Too scared to touch the stars
As the music slowly fades
As the music fades away

    I like it. I was thinking it in song form. Coheed and Cambria meets Tiger Army.

    A beautifully inspiring poem, dear poet. I have a couple of my own friends that I may have to share this with.

    Thank you for penning this, and God bless you richly. Best of luck in the contests you're entered in.

    Zach.

    This is amazingly beautiful...

    Until line 16...where you lost the beautiful rhyme!!
    I love it...but if you could find the same rhythm you had at the begging...it would be Gold!
    Best wishes in the contest, whether you change it or not!

    i can imagine this being like a sorta andante piano song, carefully going up and down the scales. first line starting at middle C, then the next line go up an octave and the keys play with each word, going down from high C.

    they're really good lyrics, and i can definitely see it being a great piano song. keep up the great work!

    This is kind of a smooth, dreamy kind of song with some beach ideas without being a beach or surfing song. Interesting idea of Neptune coming down to enjoy his domain (thought about second line - it would make it seem the planet had come down. He would make it seem the god had come down.) Can kinda picture the beach walk loving lady singing this one. Get those other verses added, lol.

    Hugs!!!
