A Choir of One

Sun drips her smile off my cheek 
interrupting moments weak 
a hummingbird hovers 
outside the pane 
of my half-opened window 
trying to capture the drops 
of sugar falling off my lips 
but no one wants to hear a choir of one 
even if filled with love 

notes sour 
in an empty breeze 
no apparent harmony 

salt seeks her home 
recover what's seen 
backdrop to discovery 

Stolen dreams drift off without me 
watched under the heat of day 
burnt into oblivion 
under two-bit glass 
cutting at the heart of tomorrow 
I sing a pretty song 
as the sun silently disappears 
Votre amour est tenu dans ces yeux

Lady Labyrinth November 5, 2019 at 7:22 AM Beautiful poem, sad in its beauty and intensity. Ts Poetry November 5, 2019 at 8:08 AM I like to believe that. I hope you are right T xx Lady Labyrinth November 5, 2019 at 8:01 AM Stolen dreams burnt under two bit glass, is a heavy silence. One can never give up on finding love, sometimes it is a long long journey. Good things eventually come to good people with honest hearts and open eyes. x Ts Poetry November 5, 2019 at 7:39 AM Thank you Leanne
