Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Melancholic Melodies

memories unfurling
on the shores of time
calligraphy strokes

tracing wild whimsies
of my yearning heart
curling frayed remnants

between the fingers of
forgetfulness forlorn
both glass slippers

vanished in the night
love notes scattering
to feral autumn winds
