You sang to me of sunsets.
You sang to me of dawns.
Your voice the wind
Of summer days, and nights of winters gone.
Follow your refrains did I
O’er mountain, sea, and cloud.
The seasons passing
Under skies, sweetened by your songs.
But then one day, the lyrics changed;
The scale of notes
Collapsing.
The avalanche of noise, a crushing blow
Of dissonant chords;
My bound heart left no choices.
I ceased to listen in your storm
Whose wake, whose void
Of music gone, of song destroyed
Now echoes hollow
In the silence
Where you sing to me no more.
Beautiful piece ❤️
Such a lovely piece, the sense of longing and wistfulness really comes through in your words.
Thank you kindly. I’ve only dabbled a few times with poetry. The freedom of word play is something I enjoy tremendously.
I really like your new poem. Yes, it’s sad. But it’s also touching in a bittersweet way. It reminds me of special moments that have become lost to the past only to be remembered one day out of the blue when something triggers the memory. Your words in this poem are lovely and meaningful. Thanks for sharing!
