There is an unseen spirit.
I felt like posting a lyric of mine, just to see what will be.
I have my own vocal tune to it, but it is as yet in need of being worked at musically.

Hello little dreamers, how do you do?
Hello little dreamers, is that you?
Hello little dreamers, is it coming through?
Hello little dreamers, what is really true?

‘There’s an unseen spirit
To an unseeing world
Divulges no secrets
Tells no lies
Falsifies no hopes
Shows no surprise’

Relates no illusions
Creates no fantasies
Controls no confusions
Consoles no pleas

Has no kneed
Greed’s no gold
Needs no love
To cherish and hold

Feels no pain
Takes no chances
Does not die to dream
The star light dances

Conjures no tricks
Takes no trips
Feels no burning desire
To kiss her quivering lips

Plays no games
Mentions no names
Blames nobody
But were all as guilty as hell

‘There’s an unseen spirit
To an unseeing world
Divulges no secrets
Tells no lies
Falsifies no hopes
Shows no surprise’


Nightmares in the young boys hart
I can’t stand the way you tease
Sobs of sorrow down the madhouse corridors
Because no one else believes
In the awareness of listening, you can hear the thieves

I would dance through the trees
Listen to her footsteps, kick the autumn leaves
Sense her soft breath
Blow the breeze
Feel her desire
Drive me to my knees
Echoes in the stormy mind
Set me free, please

‘There’s an unseen spirit
To an unseeing world
Divulges no secrets
Tells no lies
Falsifies no hopes
Shows no surprise’

In the dining room below
They eat and drink
Merrier and more
Than she can believe
Behind the doors of her room
Her soul heaves
With a fright she looks to the curtains
And the night breathes

Hello little dreamers, is that you?
Hello little dreamers, is it really true?
Hello little dreamers, Is there anything we can do?
Hello little dreamers, How are you?

Nice lyric, good flow, love the intricacy of your wording. One thing just stuck out to me, "Sobs of Sorrow", is that as in "cires" as in someone crying, or as in "tears" as in a physical result from the crying? With that in mind, I can't see "tears" fitting right after the word "tease", depends on how you've phrased it with gaps etc. I dunno, it may work how it is, just something that stood out for me. I like the intro/outro, and the way it moves, I can kind of see a melody line in it, if you know what I mean?
Nice job kings.

Marino : First things first, I'm really pleased your still here!
As for that piece, it is actually the chorus and it can fit in between most of the 'verses', but then it becomes a bit much.
What am I doing with it? nothing much at the moment.   Why?

The story behind this one is that I wrote it a long time ago and was the first I envisaged a Video for.
It's a very simple idea and I don't know why I haven't done it yet!
It's not an 'easy' 'song' to sing and my initial idea was of a spoken piece that gradually becomes sung!

So how do you hear it? that's what all of this is about, sharing some inspiration! 

A! WB I just remembered I had a long Re: for you last night but I lost it to a rogue click! 
I'll get back to you on it because you make some good points!

WB, right!
Thanks for the input! 'Sobs of sorrow' is a cynghanedd as such and roles off the tongue, it could have been, 'tears of torment' or 'Cries in the night', I just hadn't used Sobs of sorrow before and I liked it! 
I'm glad you hear a melody to it, I do usually write with some tune in mind, at least a 'musical' flow!
So that means you 'really' read it! Thanks
As I've said above I 'perform' this as a poem to start with, the thing just becomes musical and sung as I read! lol
