quiet (my first song)

This is the first time I've successfully converted my poetry into song lyrics. Tell me what you think!

history

bloom, trees
freedom waits
a whistle!
rise, you people
stomp stomp stomp
stomp stomp stomp

femininity

hair blusters
black hair, darkest hair
out, flash, goes the wind
sister, rush, quick goes the wind

eyelids, smooth
lines on your forehead

do I say goodbye?
I can't say
a word

stay on the kerb with me
time can run away
blink
those eyelids, smooth
let me warm your cheeks

blink
those eyelids, smooth, sister

what are you?

there is a soft breeze under the tree
and there is no one here
next to the rigid bark in the late summer shade
where the branches duck and judder
I used to have a battle here with myself
I used to have a battle with you
but now we're old bodies who know each other
and the bells are pealing in the abbey
late in the day
there is a soft breeze under the tree
I have your eyes for an hour
there is no one here
