Notes About The Poem

Contest-Hymn of the Heart-sponsor- Hiya Sharma-7/19/26

Hymn of the Heart

The song my soul
never seeks has loud musical notes
rather calmer, more sensitive music
played for my heart
in rhythmic serene purpose
of melodies filled with beauty
beyond by gone lingering
dressed in yesterday's aromatic ambrosia 
of instrumentals drifting still
on the boundaries of heartfelt yearning

my soul is haunted 
by musical notes of seduction
and magical majesty 
that give comfort to each moment 
captured to quiver my heart
when I seek pulsations of wishes and dreams
found in the illusion of wonderland 
that release my soul and find my heart
seeking to nourish new songs of tomorrows
perfumed in the melodies of yesterday
so, my soul can soar with an ambiance of essence
that dwells in my heart, waiting to be heard
and seen in verses of poetic harmonies

Gosh dear Frederic! This really hued my heart with such poignant and pensive nuances, the heart feels whatever it wants, it owns every sentiment and orchestrates the emotions in tunes unfathomable yet only understood by our souls! I adore how you've written "my soul is haunted by musical notes of seduction and magical majesty that give comfort to each moment captured to quiver my heart" The yearning is so sincere! such a soulful and eloquent piece, etched with the musicality of the soul. Congratulations on your placement in my first contest! ✨🐚🧜‍♀️🌙🧜‍♀️🐚✨

The heart writes its own music. It's a maestro that will not give up its baton. Whether it sings melancholic melodies, soulful blues, or lighter love songs, it chooses its own orchestra. Fine writing, Frederic.
