Sweet heart, shall we share?
a fiery arrow has been left to fly,
a pleasant little bird, has been left to weep,
there are monsters in the dreams,
reality deep within hallucinations,
but dare to sleep my little heart,
unburdened by the feeling to cry,
forlorn and marooned in an island of agony,


Oh, sweet heart,
I've heard your musings,
and your spasms of soft whimpers
Sleep, dear heart, sleep,
the tiny dripping of the rain,
reminds the eyes of sorrows
So deep like a misty abyss,
with dusk coming, the dawn will die,
the sparrows will fly till the tomorrow,


Sleep now dear heart,
bleeding thoughts are flying freely,
shall I reminiscence the broken memories?
or replay the hurting ruse?
You're a collection of beautiful and decomposing thoughts
but we'll sieve the grotesque past,
like a barren water flowing with recluse,


Sleep well my tender heart,
the nights will drown the agony,
and the morrow shall usher sunshines,
bubbles of happiness, and a dazzling sky
filled with rainbow lathers,
Sleep well now,
lullabies and ballads, odes and elegies,
a trombones with pathetic music
even the guitar is sonorous with aches

POETIC NOTES & ANALYSIS


Lullabies are generally soft songs, rendition, poem, beautiful and soft enough to put to sleep the poem however details a tragic lullaby sung to his heart. The poet has had a really day, maybe a few of his past memories are starting to hunt him, as a result of this, he experience insomnia and is unable to sleep, burdened by the contents of his thoughts, his fears and instead of well singing himself a comforting tune he sifted his heart feelings and it was really tragic.

The poet tries to use mild imageries to paint the grief, and he however acknowledged broken promises, failed attempts, unreturned love and insecurities. He tries to calm his heart by generally facing his fears, because an attempt to hide or run away from them makes it very painful and the burden becomes unbearable.

However in an unsuccessful attempt to sing tragic lullabies, he found himself to be forlorn still and lost in pain, and he then resorted to a last attempt. He did this by admitting that time will pass and by the passage of time the broken heart will piece together and heal.
