Heart Song Seperation

Heart Song Separation

“We got separated from us last week and I haven’t found you since.”   Poet’s Quote

Too long my heart we beat in arrhythmic clashes
 Languishing in sudden cardiac heart arrest
Out of sync creating dark vascular ashes
 No phoenix rises from heart disease - never rests.

Too long my song we argue over melodies
 Distracted by atonal hallucinations
Dismissing cradle songs of haunting rhapsodies
 Elusive harmonies hide in cache creations.

Too long my words we engage in rhythmic stand offs
 Glaring at my silent muse - tense verbal showdowns
Impasse of wills – procrastination’s folly doff
 Disguised in masks adjectives appear as pronouns.

My aimless soul seeks union with lost heart song words
 Remembering your quiet smiles of peace fullness
Your velvet vesper serene these mourning tears blur
 As twilight yearns in midnight’s hypnotic stillness.

Too long my heart we beat in arrhythmic clashes
 Too long my song we argue over melodies
Too long my words we engage in rhythmic stand offs
 My aimless soul seeks union with lost heart song words.

I enjoyed reading this wonderful poem. Specially, the stanza with words... 'tense verbal showdowns' and the idea of framing the last sentence of that stanza 'Disguised in masks, adjectives appear as pronouns'. Congrats Sam on your great win in the contest. ~ Ani

Sam, quite creative form you developed here. A bit like a Villanelle with repeating lines, but only similar. Unique. Also rather lyrical, probably from your musical and singing background. I applaud your initiative and, of course, your placement and kind comment about my little ditty. Thanks ever so.

Thank you my friend! I struggled with this one but really like the end product as it is so descriptive of the ways elements of my person sometimes battle each other then long to be re-united. So happy to see your poems at the top of many winngers lists lately!
