Graveyard Lullaby

Lifepoems

The child was silent, cold as a stone
Singing his lullaby softly
"Someday when we're all alone
We'll buy a life less costly."
And so his lips would chatter on
In tranquil, calming sleep
His bed a hill of rolling green
His pillow luscious heaps
His eyes were open--as they'd been
So many years before
His eyes were open--filled within
Of tears from nevermore
He sang and dreamt to heart's delight
He neither ate nor slept
He bantered with the fairy sprites
And soothed the clouds that wept
So in his days of tranquil peace
He composed his masterpeice
It moved the skies and vexed the stars
But healed the soul and cleansed the scars:
"I wish I was an angel, flying through the air
I want to be a shooting star, streaking out despair
I want to be the crystal stream, and wash away the pain;"
...I wanna be a lot of things--If I could live again."

Impressed would be an understatement of the worst kind. I am actually a little jealous. Your command of rhyme and rhythm is immeasurable, and every line is eye-catching (loved the title, too).
Truly,

| Wow....I got pulled in from the very first line. I loved the rhythm of the poem, and the last line absolutely rocked! |

I appreciate this. It mirrors some of my own sentiments in a way.
'It moved the skies and vexed the stars
But healed the soul and cleansed the scars'
Good job. |
