Notes About The Poem

Music To My Ears

When life is like an evanescent dewdrop,
spirits fade like ashes in a cimmerian shade

but then you smile, 
enlightening like a crescent moon,
sparkling in silent serenity.

My heart floats like a sussuration of butterflies,
soaring toward an empyrean paradise of petals
yearning to stay for eternity

then you speak,
serenading like a harmonic orchestra of angels,
suddenly I feel like a blissful bard,
strumming strings of a heavenly harp.

My radiant beloved, my soul glitters for you,
like a million devoted stars, sparkling in twilight aurora.
Your voice is my sweetest abode, 
a soothing sanctuary, cleansing my sins,
healing like fragrant Jasmine, dulcifying my heart,

Upon my final swan song sonnet,
do not shed a tear, for our love is timeless.
Sing me one last lover's lullaby,
even in death, your voice will be music to my ears.

Silent One

Caren Krutsinger February 10, 2019 at 11:56 AM Silent One, if you ever think of changing anything about this poem, please do not. Especially change nothing about this part, for it is perfectly written: "My radiant beloved, my soul glitters for you, like a million devoted stars, sparkling in twilight aurora. Your voice is my sweetest abode, a soothing sanctuary, cleansing my sins, healing like fragrant Jasmine, dulcifying my heart."
