Monsieur Chopin

From Nima to dear Frederic

Yes,

You were there

When I was in grief

When no words could endure

Transforming what I meant

Yet, you talked to me

Although you had enough on your own

So now I am talking to you

As you are in the sky

Hanging out in the heavens

Where your lungs do not suffer

Where tuberculosis does not bother

I can see you there,

Talking to Liszt, laughing with Mozart

And learning from Beethoven

While Schubert pours himself wine

While Strauss plays with his mustache

 

I hear you still, through your tears

In the "Funeral March"

I hear you complain of ignorance

Through the rises and falls of 

"Ballade No 1 in G Minor"

Do you remember the starry night

When no ears would hear me,

Yet, you accompanied me

By your Nocturnes?

I was flattered when

I saw paintings of you

Playing it among the royals

One of my sweet memories, 

Is when I saw you dancing

I heard you laughing

When "Grand Waltz" was

Your messenger to me

I don't know if you

Follow the news on earth

But I can give you one

And that is the fact that

Your tomb will never be

empty of flowers

Even for a single day

In heaven, send my greetings

To Delacroix, to Hugo 

And let Delacroix immortalize 

Your companionship of the geniuses

Frederic, while you are there

Wish me good luck 

To finally reach the point

Where I can hear you with my own hands

When the piano bursts into tears

When the notes are all ears

Author's Note

Chopin changed my taste in music, I always admire him like a legend or a myth.
This is a tribute to the greatest piano composer of all time✨

This poem is like shafts of sunlight pouring through a window after a dark and cloudy day. There is sadness; but more importantly, there is a recognition of the hope that got you through - the music. No matter the culture, I feel like music unites us all. Instrumental music, in particular, has the effect of resonating with us on a soulful level. It appeals to the senses when it matches the mood that we are in. This was all around a lovely poem. Thank you.

Yes dear Linda, music is the bridge that connects us, in sadness,in happiness and when words are not needed.
I'm honored to hear your opinion on this poem, thanks for calling it "shafts of sunlight".
I will visit you soon Madam, thanks for stopping by.
Wish you the very best🤍🌸

There is a song by an American Country singer called The Older I get". I can't recall the man's name lol.
Surely the singer was right🙂

[Chris Shaw]

Music can be a great friend in times of darkness and loneliness. I love that Chopin was able to keep you company at a particularly difficult time. A fine tribute Nima. A great poetic ending.

Sometimes silence is not good and at the same time, human cannot talk, so that's when the music takes control......
Thank you dearest Chris🤍🌸🙏

[William Michael Reeves]

Wow! What an ending. The idea that a piano bursts into tears is poetic gold!!! Excellent! Chopin can, for all the ages, span the distance between the hand and heart of a man. Excellent tribute!

[Nima.Hope]

Thank you dear Bill, I agree with you. Chopin is gold, he never loses his value by time, his music is still modern.
Best wishes🤍

Nice...

Great poem and good poetry.

I'm sure he deserves it... and if there is another side besides this one... he must be very pleased.

Honestly don't know that much of his work... but the little I know... I do like.

;)

[Nima.Hope]

Thank you Rock. I'm not "sure" there is a heaven but I hope there is, because it's such a pitty to think even the soul of people like him is not in a second world.
I hope he suffers less in that world. If you listen some of his works I named in the poem, surely that would be enough.
My gratitude towards you🤍🙏

[The_Ancient_Rock]

You are most welcome...

Yes... maybe I will listen sometime...

Honestly I'm more into modern music that into the classics...

But no doubt that Chopin was a great composer and perfomer...

As Mozart and so many others...

[Nima.Hope]

I too like Modern Music, but sometimes I just need a rythme,not a word. That's when Classics world opens it's door to me🙂

[The_Ancient_Rock]

I can agree on that... sometimes classics are good... or... necessary...

Not such a long time been listening to Mozart's Requiem quite a lot...

Just how it goes... would like things to be different... but they are not.
