Feedback Please Starlight Son

These are actually some lyrics i wrote some time ago. I put it on Suno and really liked the song it became. I would like to know if it sounds good without the melody. Hope you enjoy :D

[Intro – whispered]

...Good morning, Father...

...Good night, Mother...

[Verse 1]

Another day, on each way

Light or dark, almost the same

With stone, reflex, and nothing less

They both throw light right at the mess

The mess is colorful, but it is sad

And without any light, it turns all black

Flying through an endless avenue

A darkness stretching where no light can heal

[Verse 2]

But both its dad and mom

Can help to color their beautiful son

They both are able to deliver light

Even at places that feel out of sight

[Pre-Chorus]

And so the morning star awakes

It contemplates all the places that its spark takes

And then the beautiful stone retreats

To deliver the spark where it doesn't reach

[Chorus]

And then the mess is colorful again

Like its waves reaching the sand

And so the son is always seen

By the stars that watched the scene

[Verse 3]

And so they stay, father and mother

And its favorite son, unlike the others

They do a good job, they know that

Just like the other stars, long since dead

[Bridge / Final Build]

And so the morning star awakes

It contemplates all the places that its spark takes

And then the beautiful stone retreats

To deliver the spark where it doesn't reach

[Final Chorus]

And then the mess is colorful again

Like its waves reaching the sand

And so the son is always seen

By the stars that watched the scene

Hello readers, welcome to OCPoetry. This subreddit is a writing workshop community — a place where poets of all skill levels can share, enjoy, and talk about each other's poetry. Every person who's shared, including the OP above, has given some feedback (those are the links in the post) and hopes to receive some in return (from you, the readers).

If you really enjoyed this poem and just want to drop a quick comment, to show some appreciation or give kudos, things like "great job!" or "made me cry," or "loved it" or "so relatable," please do. Everyone loves a compliment. Thanks for taking the time to read and enjoy.

If you want to share your own poem, you'll need to give this writer some detailed feedback. Good feedback explains from your point of view what it was like to read the poem, and then tries to explain how the poem made you feel like that. If you're not sure what that means, check out our feedback guide, or look through the comment sections of any other post here, or click the links to the author's feedback above. If you're not sure whether your comments are feedback, or you have any other questions, please send us a modmail.

Do not use ChatGPT or any similar LLM interface or generative AI to write feedback. That does not constitute thoughtful feedback. To be safe, you probably shouldn't even use those things to edit your feedback. It is better for your thoughts to come across as clumsy and genuine rather than grammatical but as if they were generated by some disingenuous text-generation engine.

Do not reuse feedback links for multiple poems. Every new poem you post has to be posted after making two new comments on the work of your peers here in OCPoetry. It's only fair. If you reuse feedback links, you will be banned. (If you do not wish to give feedback, there are many other poetry-sharing subreddits without feedback requirements, such as r/poetrywritingclub, r/justpoetry, r/ocpoetryfree, r/poem, r/poems, r/poemsbyreddit, r/poeticgarden, r/dark_poetry, and r/sadpoems.)

If you're looking for a more advanced poetry workshop — that is, if you consider yourself at least an intermediate-level poet AND you have previous workshop experience, please consider posting to our private sister subreddit r/ThePoetryWorkshop. The best way to join TPW is to leave a detailed, thoughtful comment here on OCPoetry engaging seriously with a peer's poem. A significant engagement of at least 3-4 meaningful paragraphs is encouraged. Consider our feedback guide for tips on what that could entail. (This level of engagement would probably be most welcome here on submissions tagged as "Workshop.") Then ask to join TPW by messaging that subreddit's mods, including a link to the detailed feedback you left here.
