Memory

A memory of him...

The background pendulum

Along came the bass

Melodies of silence and subtle plays

Delude me in your wondrous ways

Cradle me till the end of our days

A cup of absinthe,

Fantasies never amiss

“Tock Tock” the pendulum says this

Caress me to your wondrous bliss

Along with memories I came to miss.

Enchanting euphoria,

Raindrops upon window sills,

An empty cup that never fills,

Of promises and false wills,

Oh love kills…

Author's Note

I heard the word pendulum and suddenly a flash of memory came upon me. I got this out of it...

Great atmosphere created and emphasis on pace, with the reference to bass and the ticking pendulum. There are some beautiful lines in this poem that stretch through phases of love, the ones I like are :

'Along came the bass', 'Raindrops upon window sills' and 'An empty cup that never fills'

I liked this a lot

Thank you so much.

I see a wonderland within this. I love it.

I like how each stanza represents what is to me the process of romantic introduction-infatuation-estrangement.

[Fréyjä Helvití]

Thank you :)

[Rocans]

Wonderful poem this. Amazing how some words incite the will to write a poem-happens to me all the time. Good, clean write.

[Fréyjä Helvití]

Indeed. Somehow it just flows once struck with inspiration... Thank you

[TL Boehm]

Wow. that last verse especially....
Enchanting euphoria,
Raindrops upon window sills,
An empty cup that never fills,
Of promises and false wills,
Oh love kills…
Beautiful - haunting poem.

[Fréyjä Helvití]

Oh thank you much dear... :)

Hrmm... not your best.....but I suspect there is a good poem waiting to get out here. I reckon if you could fill it out a bit and break the 3 and 4 same rhymes in a row which I found a bit hard to take....then poem would really come alive....Pendulum is a great subjective word.

LOL. Well it wasn't given much effort so I wouldn't be expecting this to stand out along with my past works. But thanks for the advice... :)
