Lonely does a song bird sing of fleeting memories
how he longs to share his song in perfect harmony
but there can be no polyphony if only one bird sings
so patiently he awaits for another who longs as he
for a song bird is but a ghost if alone he sings
Lonely does a song bird sing with a heavy heart
what could be a perfect melody is only but a dream
and under moon lit twilight his final hour is at hand
with summer gone he must move on to the bitter end
for a song bird is but a ghost if alone he sings
Lonely does a song bird sing on a broken whim
and like a thousand nights of symphony his final act begins
and like violins, even crickets play in tune with him.
for a song so sad even the glow of fireflys must dim
for a song bird is but a ghost, without another song bird with him....
This is a really good poem and a good start. I look forward to reading more. Keep it up.
if this is your first poem, then indeed it is beautiful. Each line in itself is a song. Each line clear in its meaning. The metaphor of a songbird singing alone and 'is but a ghost' is a fine representation for a loved one. Loved it.

I loved this poem, though the outline could have been better but it didn't remove anything from how good an effort it is
