Notes About The Poem

Fragility of Dreams

In fragility of dreams,
winds weep with weeping willows.
Fate mimics a melancholic melody -
pain only piano keys can portray.

Each note tempts this tired mind,
to move in slow motion -
a dispirited dance for a misunderstood heart,
mourning the surreal silence of her absence.  

Sanity deceives like twilight,
clementine embers scorch the sky.
As shadows create silhouettes -
darkness does not reveal my star.

Breathing alone at the beloved's bridge,
reminiscing brown eyes and secret smiles,
echoes of her voice tingle -
lonesome soul shivers.

Here I remain,
an unfinished painting -
aching for her palette.
