Tune Of Pain

Inspired by Prince Roger Nelson's song : When Doves Cry Grey clouds hover over my wasteland, the desert languishes in the heat of craving, deprived of the tuneful rain, until you arrive with drizzling breeze. In your pulsating embrace my heart’s oasis resounds with the symphony of desire. As the pristine patina of radiant roses flushes your crimson cheeks, rhapsody of longing wraps the mesmerized meadow of my mind. The cadence of your intimate heart pulsates within mine, I float in the ether of euphoria. I fly with open wings in your sky, a storm from nowhere tears me down. You don’t care for the injured bird, I hide my pain within me, clasping the broken heart within the collapsed wings I desperately curl with mournful sigh. My tear drops roll unseen for you on the trail of melancholy, where I hear the enchanting echo of the songs we sang together once. The tune now resonates like when doves cry.

Thank you for your wonderful poem! I can feel the angst in the beautiful words as if Prince himself sang them. Congratulations on your win!
