KEEP A SONG FOR ME

KEEP A SONG FOR ME.....

Your songs have kept me alive

their meaning my heart knows

this rhythm has kept me going

long been a captive in the matrix that flows

your songs taught me love and vision

and blessed me with a tinge of reason

and the ink that flowed free on my shirt that day

you know well, how it got me out of dismay

and when you hummed that cheerful tune

it felt like a flute in a sandy dune

your songs have felt like my very own

as this music, with my soul resonates

i feel this charm like no one does

as the brink in the two often fades...

i feel like listening to all your songs

without a breath, a pause..

but wait, if it has to end...

KEEP A SONG FOR ME....because....

When i'll get tired of aim and ambition

and have nothing to live or die for

when i'll breathe free of all shackles

and have no reason to lie for

when all addictions fail to give refuge

and i'll be lost in oblivion

when all rhymes shall lose their kernel

and i'll search for your songs in a million

and you'll be long lost in the woods of life

and lest I be left with a locked door,

dying, crying to find the key...

KEEP A SONG FOR ME

Let a sole verse be unsung

let an emotion be left unsaid

of all poems you have written

let a single one remain unread

and of all melodies that enliven me

just one... untouched , let it be

KEEP A SONG FOR ME...
