A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto


mute melody

 

 

expressive tones,

your eyes are music

i am tone deaf but still feel the magic

 

in your philosophical gaze

as you imply possibilities

with a heart not recovered

 

from another's off-key song...

"I am tone deaf but still feel the magic." I find this line to resonate with me, there was once a girl I liked who felt the same but I missed the fact by a mile and thus ruined my chances.

As always amazing work Jacob!

Joanna was magic and I am tone deaf (can you believe I took guitar lessons). So here I am having memories from a poem now read. Joanna happened in 1975. I was 26.

Thanks for the memories Jacob!

Regards,
Al

Such lovely word choices, makes me sigh again, the effortlessness you integrated is so nice. I love the musical similes, they made think of someone again, a bittersweet memory.

It was nice to recall old times. You're welcome.
Love it! A new song to replace the one we can't get out of our heads.

Ha!
And you just reminded me of Kylie Minogues 'can't get you out of my head'. :)
Ah that attraction to someone new after being burned by another. We try to deny it, but it's there, nonetheless.
