Notes About The Poem

My Solitary Wandering

I savor silence and my solitary dreams, my wanderings
and in my candlelit room, I withdraw 
to my secret place and you
I have put on our wedding dance music
and I am travelling back, back in time with a sigh
I know what comes next and I want to weep with love
my dress is a cloud of red chiffon flowing, flowing
and you my darling, are in a black suit
soft the jazz music drifting in my meditation
did I put that music on or did it just come to me
you whisper in my ear, besome mucho, and I turn the page
back, back, I turn back the pages
we swirl onto the dance floor, twirling and dipping perfectly
and the red chiffon is beauty 
kiss me my darling your whisper or is that the music
your strong arms hold me tightly, oh I remember
and we are spinning, spinning, spinning
then the music is loud like thunder, roaring
  and you are fading
      our hands slipping
          then our fingertips
              and still we are spinning
                 until you are gone and I am alone
                            yet the music goes on and on

and in my candlelit room, I take a deep breath . . .

Duke Beaufort February 8, 2016 at 7:26 AM A journey in solitude that takes you to a certain place. It is wonderful that you can describe your journey, and that you picked this specific one. What I find remarkable is how you can be there in this place and describe it with such precision. This takes a great deal of persistence which I know you have. What a unique and fabulous person you are. Constance La France February 8, 2016 at 9:42 AM Duke, thanks for the visit and the compliments, this is my gift, I can live my poem, be right inside and write it as it happens, but I do meditate and have paper and pen ready after to write the journey I was on, right after, if one waits, you forget it, at least I do ...
