Notes About The Poem

for Anoucheka Gangabissoon's Sad Violin Tunes, O Heart Of Mine Poetry Contest

Sad Violin Tunes

Sad violin tunes stir my heart.
When played in the G minor key
with vibrato, they can impart
wistful memories that haunt me.

The violinist bows his notes.
Sad violin tunes stir my heart.
When he plays this way, he emotes
the ache I feel; this is his art.

My dearest and I – now apart -
still are waltzing inside my mind.
Sad violin tunes stir my heart,
but solace in them I can’t find.

I wonder when I’ll meet again
my true love, who had to depart.
Our time will come, but until then
sad violin tunes stir my heart.
