Midnight Serenade

not sure about the title. but its a bit different than usual for me.

 

Playing a midnight serenade

In this starry moonlit night

So black as my heart

As it aches for you tonight

 

Playing so softly

As I'm wishing for you near

Hoping to hear your sweet words

Whispering tenderly in my ear

 

I once knew the light

Being close to you

Now while everyone sleeps

I'm awake in the darkest blue.

 

You are my ghost, living within me

In the silence of the mist

Lingering in my mind and heart

The only place where you now exist.

 

Playing this sad tune,

The harmonic sorrow of my heart

I wait, and play only for you

For death we do depart.

Very vivid and I can feel the sorrow and pain. The night adds to the mystery and feeling....

This goes so wonderfully with the picture as well.
A haunting aura exists around and inside your great poem!

Marvelous and mournful~ such a heart rending poem that exudes the way life feels when we are alone.

Beautiful, that is the only thing I can say, beautiful. Right now I am holding back tears. I have never cried over poetry, but this peice really touched me in a way I have never felt before. I am not worthy! There are so many adjetives I could use to describe it but none of them would stand up to it's beauty and wisdom. I need to go get some tissues and pick up my jaw from the floor. Hands down fantastic!

Dark yet a delightful read.

If you can play as good as you write, I'd sure like to hear you play.
