Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Play Misty For Me

in the dance of moonlight
a serenade comes to mind
a mellow longing that persists

a melancholic sway that heaves of ache
a craving that refuses to subdue
a calling of the heart felt to the core

a yearning that begs 'Play Misty For Me'
please won't you please 'Play Misty For Me'

This is what you pay attention to "a calling of the heart felt to the core" for there is no other way to be.

Line, Play Misty For Me, 1971 horror movie with Clint Eastwood, though your poem seems nothing to do with horror but with a longing love, blessings Constance

My poem was not meant as a tribute to the movie, but did appropriate the song as 'my own'. I'm hoping that doesn't make me a stalker. lol

Nicely written Line. Was there a movie by that name I seem to recall?

1971 ~ apparently the first stalker movie.
