Vasco Ludovice Poet Free verse

Uncle John's Music

Daddy's piano plays my sadness
The funeral of a feeling
with a funny uncle at the mass

The windows feel the breeze
it's  6 pm in the afternoon, in Lisbon
The sun hides in a purple dusky sky
We feel formal but weak 
We feel the missing of a heart

Lady Labyrinth May 19, 2021 at 6:15 PM it is sad when someone leaves us, it as if the music stops for a little while, then we remember how they sat at that piano and played so beautifully, or sang, or danced, we remember them through rifts of music and song, we see them smile. x Vasco Ludovice May 21, 2021 at 1:35 PM Thank you for your words :).
