Follow me (Cry)

Let’s soar one more time
while the music plays
Let’s fly into the immense
that unfolds everytime
the light strikes us
Let’s dream like Icarus
and conquer the sun for a minute
Let’s live with no sorrows or regrets
and face the unknown
with a defying smile
Let’s hold hands and bravely live.

This sounds...

like something that my all-time favorite actor Vincent Price would say in one of his movies! He was so enamored of such grand statements. I think it must have been from his acting on stage days. I am of two minds about your title, one says that it should be something more sweeping and powerful, the other says that it is powerful in itself. I like the rhythm and the measure. The theme is somewhat romantic and speaks of a long history between the speaker and the recipient. I do wish that you had used lower-case in some lines, but I think that may just be me. Good work! ~ Geezer.

What I observed

There is misuse of Upper case in the lines. And your title is not fitted in the poem.

Though you have a nice idea in the poem. Well crafted!

Thank you for your opinion.

Thank you for your opinion. Edited the Upper case. Cry as in a desperate scream for help...at least that was the idea.
