Lullula from Lullula by Romulus Rues

You shall be laid down to sleep, feasting on radio wires/
And maybe you’ll find a pleasant frequency, and not the signals of the crackling pyre/
No more flicking fingers, to see a smile that you once made/
No more bottle caps and double taps, for a heart you can’t save//

So let a song slip from your lips, to that boy you just might love/
Before your thoughts, Come crashing careening from above/
And you lose your nerve/
For a six syllable word//

Numbers strung and hung, are now etched into your chest/
And an unyielding yearning for words, to be traced on the nape of your neck/
Don’t try to remember, why you left your shoes off the stage/
Don’t mind the strangers watching, when you choose to display//

Singing so sweetly birds at the back of your throat, a melody revealing releasing you from the throes/
Birds tapping, wires flapping, So just try to hold/
The dream while it’s here/
Before the signal smears//
