Notes About The Poem

Out of Tune

i toy with the line between love and despair
i sway like a fool to and fro
i dance to melodies dark blue in mid-air

for me there's no ray of sun or moon
so here i dangle in limbo
somewhat like an old piano out of tune

Still sounds like grief which lasts for a long time and ebbs and flows "so here i dangle in limbo" at the most unexpected and inopportune times Line.
