Familiar Love

A tapping off in the distance
 some symbiotic rhythm on a steel guitar,
 some somber, sullen melancholic acoustic roots,
borderline tears, salted from past memories,
 crazy longing, aching for your touch,
 one more time, warming the heart and soul;
classic, vintage vibes, returning thoughts
 breathing of a time forgotten, lost to passages
 of walk aways in hurt and pain,
call out my name, sing the soul filled blues song
 one lonesome cry echoing, twisting, turning, reeling
 circling back to what was 
in a familiar love gone wrong.

Hello DM, Love gone wrong. So many times in a life, yet seldom spared. Isn't it ever just the little things? Not when one cares. -Richard

Beautiful free verse. I too can sometimes hear music that instantly brings me back.
