What the wind whispers

Love me like it was only yesterday
Hold me as if i am there today
Please god I don't want to fade away
I only want to stay
Watching the flowers in May
But theres nothing I can say
For I died that day
My spirit can't find a place to lay
One by one my respects they pay
Here I must sit listening to her play
The sad song she sings among the hay
Darling, I have found my way
Your song having been the sun ray
to the darkness that it slay
I'm the wind, watch the trees sway
Keep me in your heart and forever I shall stay

Clever

But continual rhyme seldon fails to be forced and loses content.

Thanks.

Alice,

good for you, to try something different and use the same rhyme throughout. Not sure it works as some rhymes feel a little forced.

Maybe you should split it into 2 stanza's of 8 lines and change the end-rhymes in one of the stanza's.

Read like a rap, and I didn't think it that bad at all. You said what you wanted to.

How you keeping?

Thanks HS

Thanks thats a good idea and I've been good. How about you?

Alice,

stopped being good a long time ago...it is so much more fun!

true

True but new places, new ages, new everything calls for a new attitude

Alice

i liked the theme of the poem which is true to its title..

since i too feel the same way about what others before me have expressed about rhyme...please try and tweak it up..

May I add?

The content is meaningful and only needs a few stanza breaks and, yes, less rhyme!

Alice

I loved the title, the theme and the message. As for the rhyming, personally, I think this is better if written in free verse or, like Jess says, lesser rhyme.
