Lullaby

Perhaps more often than we think of we write a lot on the more peaceful, beautiful scenes in the things we see. This poem, which I dedicate to all those who have written about the love between Anakin and Padme, is a recollection of thoughts, a personal song that I convey through the Songbook. I admit it's not the best of poems though, but I want to express, since I'm not an especially good romance writer, the love as I see it. Hopefully you'll all enjoy it.


I dream of fields
ablaze with gold,
in coloured streaks of voices
as dusk drowns me in blue.
And whispers cease
with this soft stillness;
I'll form with my eyes,
my vision of you.

And all you need
is to close your eyes.
'Cause where the light ends
and dreams come alive,
I'll still be standing here
holding your hand in mine.

I dream of voices
calling me into silence;
where they echo on,
all darkness disappears.
And as dawn breaks
with faces of amber,
this daylight will sparkle
with our bleeding tears.

And all you need
is to just close your eyes.
'Cause as you drift into
our world far beyond,
you will find comfort,
locked in my arms.

Written by shelter

I'm also appealing for anything else that you would like me to write on. My inspiration's running dry and I suffer a lack of ideas. I don't want to end the Songbook here, nor remove the songs from the site. If any one of you would like to help me with my poems and ideas, my e-mail address is on my bio. Thank you.
