Sweet Serenade

  

The sweet sounds of memories

Play in my heart like

The passion of jazz filling

A smoke filled club

Giving me the chords of strength

To sing a song to carry on.

 

With that strength I try

To share the tune of humanity

That my soul conducts

Like a symphony

Hoping it’s loud enough

To echo off the walls

Of ignorance that is built too high.

 

My only other hope is

That I can find someone

To do a duet with that will

Become a platinum hit

And become a classic

That others can take

Inspiration from.

 

For there is nothing like

Having a sweet serenade

To turn life’s racket

Into a power balled.

Magnificent work!! No doubt close to perfection! The descriptions between music and love are perfectly portrayed in the work of art!! I found it elegant, creative, exquisite and just plain lovely!! I can go on with more adjectives but I don't want to take away from this beautiful poem. !!! Wonderful work you should be so proud of!!

Love the musical touch this uses but with phrases leading from one thought to another - like links in a chain ...

' The sweet sounds of memories / Play in my heart like / The passion of jazz filling / A smoke filled club ' ..

' To share the tune of humanity / That my soul conducts / Like a symphony ' ..

' That I can find someone / To do a duet with ' ..

' To turn life's racket / Into a power balled.' .
