Poem

Inspired by Nocturne in e minor (opus 72, no 1) by Chopin

The sorrow of a harmony 
Never heard by it's intended 
The tears I shed cascade 
In torrents
I can't bring myself to look
Into the starless expanse
The blanket of night weighing heavy
I could lay there
With an eternal trickle of memories
That flash and fade
Overlaying sadness
Onto my bereft soul
The need to cry out
Into the empty night
That yearning, without solace
Nothing in existence
Can relieve my pain
I begin and I end in the long night
By befores have been subsumed
My tomorrow's without meaning
For I cannot chase what was never real
Just I and the bleak emptiness
Of emotion that travels to
My fingertips
And ends there
In the vacuum 
With tears that fall
One by one
Never to be dried
Never to stop
I yearn for delusion 
To relieve me from the pain
Attached to the shadows
Lost in a mist
Of the evaporating tears that I have shed

The most amazing thing happened in relation to this poem. I was inspired after watching a gentleman called Liam play it on television yesterday for a show called The Piano. I wrote the poem in the 15 or so minutes wait time to collect my daughter from Guides. Today Liam was a visiting artist where I had an art class and I got to tell him how he had inspired me to listen to Chopin. He is a wonderful man and it was nice to be able discuss how seeing him play inspired me. I had no knowledge I'd ever meet him but it was really beautiful. Then I chatted with a VIP in relation to the lino print I've done and shown her the poem connected to it (Filigree) and it's going to go on display in a gallery. Lovely day that really gave me faith in myself
