Lewis Raynes Poet Quatrain

To Love Broken Love

Your voice is a traditional broken flute, 
Music from a time gone by,
And the music your voice sings to me, 
Leaves me asking why,

Is your beauty a thing that’s broken down, 
A painted on tear drop,
Why is your life a complete story, 
With a tear as its full stop,

When all I see, feel, taste and hear,
Is magic from your song,
From the dark to gentle to mellow and soft, 
Your music makes me strong,

I love the beauty that’s in your broken, 
I love your tender torn apart,
I love your beautiful broken flute, 
You’re music to my heart.
