So what do you make of this?

i disagree
Yes this is mine, I was going thru my book yesterday and this had only the first three lines, written on Tuesday, April 15, 2008, 8:53:34 AM so I started typing and ended up with this.It reads more like a poem than lyrics. I have a hard time imagining music going with it due to the inconsistent meter.
Fabulous imagery, though.
Is it yours?

This is interesting. If you gave me a book of poetry it would be 30 years before I got around to reading it coz poetry on it's own does nothing for me. Now that's not a comment about poets, rather, about me. But if you put those poems to music that I liked and called them songs, I'd become interested in the lyrics ! I love lyrics. Even if they don't make sense. I don't care about meter. If you listen to music from all over the world and different eras, meter becomes less an issue. There are, even in the West, lots of different kinds of songs.It reads more like a poem than lyrics. I have a hard time imagining music going with it due to the inconsistent meter.

Slick,
When you get around to putting music to this, be certain that this part is particularly striking ! It's a beautiful set of lines. I haven't a clue what it means.....yet it is pregnant with meaning and I could see myself flying down the motorway singing it with gusto, abandon and emotion.
Give me my Romeo; and, when he shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night
And pay no worship to the garish sun.
