When Lightning Plays On the Keys of Your Sorrow

Forgive me when lightning plays on the keys of your sorrow
and there is no time for everything you say
 to be laid here at my feet.
Still, know that I am here when your inner light
of wisdom catches dust on the frame of your heartbeat
and I will listen through your tears.

On those days when life feels like a flying bird,
do not feel sorry for reaching out
to enlightenment as your lover, please know,
that I understand your need.

There are miles of bedlam that I would love to turn into flowers
on those nights when your sea tumbles restlessly
 and those dragons of madness make you burn
the sticks of your destiny.
 Instead, I will hold you in my heart
so that you can hear it beat for you,
a breath apart and still the same.
We will drown our souls together
in our own tranquility.

When you hear the call of honor weeping to the heavens above
while leaves of scorn fall upon your head,
 I will stand beside you
 help you roll away
what stands in front of you.

 Let me be the force that drives you from the shadows
of all heartache,
 when lightning plays on the keys
 of your sorrow.  Even though sometimes
there is no time for everything you say
 to be laid here at my feet,
always know that my feet still remain here,
 next to you.

[Poetic Beauty]

This show strong devotion and the willingness to make a relationship work for there is a strong love at play. The last stanza is so beautiful and sincere. Relationships aren't always easy but if people truly love each other they will stand together and work on the issues. Great thought provoking poem.

[Larry Dyson]

I loved the analogies of the leaves of scorn ..like piles of coals heaped upon ones head.. and the ghtening playing on the keys of your sorrow...you have wonderfully attuned insights on analogies...this is like that but in a surreal way..Enjoyed the flow..

[Jūdan FyreHeart]

Such strong emotions, stunning work

Parallel paths are treasured and not always as lonely...

"Good Morning Neva."

I assume its a minor key when Lightning plays on the keys

[Cassiopia Summers]

This is absolutely darling. Very lovely in its meaning and sentiment, and I love it. Great work, wonderful writing.

[Pax Analog]

Lovely lines -- particularly striking was the part about letting enlightenment be one's lover. Cheerz to that!

The whole piece has a saintly gravitas, revealing the soul of a woman/poet who knows the depth of Love's foundation.

[Arthur Henn]

Beautiful! Every Word, Every Line - A layer of words that unfold, shadows of kindness and warmth, holding the keys of love together...

Wonderful Neva

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

To truly love someone means doing our best... now we amy not be able to do everything but just trying shows the devotion. Again your metaphors to describe the deep emotional connection is brilliant.

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

This is a beauty. I love the way the bonding goes beyond verbal communication.
Two souls who have a deep understanding.
