Notes About The Poem

Silent Serenade

Sometimes..

Life can be a silent serenade,
                                        a sequence of
                 sentimental eyes
and
                                        deep sighs..

Contemplating… Why?

I guess..
It is just another sad poem,
but with a different pen -
bleeding 
           sorrow,
afraid of  
           tomorrow.

The atmosphere is a contrast,
between black and blues.
Trying to let go of
reminiscent hues,
an artificial smile,
hiding a regretful persona.

In solitude 
             when you sit 
and listen,
you can hear -

a crumbling heart,
and uncontrollable tears.
Lost in depths of despair,
surrounded by the smell of bitter fears

 and

 I don’t care,
about the songs mad birds sing

only my silent 
                                     serenade.

Daniel Henry Rodgers January 12, 2024 at 3:24 AM Dear SO, Congrats on your win. Your poem is a journey through the nuances of life's silent serenade. The sequence of sentimental eyes and deep sighs beautifully captures the contemplation of why life unfolds in such ways. The contrast between black and blues, the struggle to let go of reminiscent shades, and the portrayal of an artificial smile hiding a regretful persona add depth to your words. In solitude, the echoes of a crumbling heart are profound. Beautifully Penned! Blessings Daniel

Carolyn Devonshire January 12, 2019 at 11:35 AM The thought of the "sound" of a crumbling heart and falling tears evokes such deep sadness, Silent One. Holding my father's hand as he lay dying, the tears that puddled beneath me seemed to explode like grenades on the floor. Can relate to the sadness you convey so well, my friend. Just hope you are not experiencing such trauma at this time. A heartfelt and captivating poem.
