Sing to me of endless whispers
Let their words snake through my ears
Would that I could understand their meaning
If only they were constructed on sense

Write to me of endless nights
Let the stars burn through to my soul
Would that they would sparkle forever
If only they would remember me

Hum to me of endless summers
Let the sun warm me through my skin
Would that the air was always as fresh
If only the sky were always as blue

Speak to me of endless friendship
Let the bond be shared between hearts
Would that the mind would always stay calm
If only life were always as pure

Sing to me, write to me, hum to me, speak to me
Of endless whispers, endless nights, endless summers, endless friendship
Would that they will continue forever
If only they will remain the same

You capture this delicate moment and feeling well!
I like the structure of this poem.

Have you been writing for long?

The line "sing to me of endless whispers" has been playing in my head for MONTHS -it was only through a chance browsing of your blog that I found the source!

Excellent poem, by the way.

"playing in my head for MONTHS" and "browsing on your blog" are probably the two best compliments (in my eyes) that I've ever recieved about my poetry! Thanks! :)
