O Mellifluous Voice

O mellifluous voice

Thoughts as mist eddying around my being

Diaphanous musings do I feel

Full.

Vituperative!

But a prescient warning!

An aberration of myself,

And you, O voice,

Nestled down inside my breast

Tucked away,

Warm and content

My heart knows no greater pleasure

Than to be one with you,

O Angel,

O Voice,

O Peace be mine

Heard in a reiterative beat.

I am one with you

My prescience 

Of your irascible presence.

  

My Own Version - O Death Rock Me Asleep

O Death rock me asleep.

Bring me to quiet rest.

Thou has mine heart to keep

A soothing wave in thine breast.

As I am to be

Fallen among the tide so smooth,

A lapping ride of lamenting ease

And comfort here to soothe.

O Death rock me asleep

Among the lonely deep,

And in my mind I pine within

A doleful rest begin.

My soul must fly

To places unknown

But yae I am flown!

For now I die

In places forlorn 

With songs which I adorn.

O Death rock me asleep

Quiet breath to keep

Under depths unknown

A soft repose

In death-

I sigh and rest

My weary breast.

O Death rock me asleep

Bring me to quiet rest.

Thou has mine heart to weep

A soothing wave in mine breast.
