Constance La France Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Under a Thousand Stars

We danced on our wedding night under a thousand stars,
and when I hear the song "Thinking Out Loud" I am taken back;
      to that starry bright night,
            when you danced with me.
The lyrics of that song are exactly how I felt and how I loved you,
the future was ours to discover-  we had so many plans;
           we were going to grow old together,
      our love would never, ever, ever fade.

Oh, I listen to that song often, well almost every day,
and it takes me back to our wedding night and our perfect love;
      I loved you since the first day,
            and you promised me forever.
I always had butterflies in my heart whenever I was near you,
but a destiny was written for me without you in it;
      and now I find you among a thousand,
            stone cold tombs-  a name engraved.

All I have are the memories we made and that song, taking me
back to when we were dancing under a thousand stars.

Lynn Marie April 9, 2017 at 2:37 PM Hauntingly beautiful. The power music has to touch our souls is deeply felt in your gorgeous and sorrow filled words. It's amazing how we can hear one beginning note, and are instantly flooded with memories...joyfully happy ones and devastating ones... sometimes at the same time. I adore this song and your lovely poem... very special writing:-) lynnxxx

Carolyn Devonshire April 4, 2017 at 2:36 PM Your touching poem brought tears to my eyes, Broken Wings. When we meet that special person, we can think only of the future we will build with him. How hard it is to conceive that a love this strong would be separated by death, but I pray you meet him in the afterlife. You picked a wonderful singer and crafted a gentle, sensitive tribute to your lost love. Wishing you success in the contest! Constance La France April 5, 2017 at 9:52 AM Carolyn thank you for that sweet comment. We never know for sure what the next moment will bring.

Connie Marcum Wong April 4, 2017 at 1:11 AM Music has a way to soothe the soul but when you have lost someone dear and that song that reminds you of them is played, the tears come rushing out. Very lovely Constance. ; ) 7 Constance La France April 4, 2017 at 10:10 AM Connie, so true, although the song takes me to magical place it also brings me to a sad place. Thanks for visiting.

Frederic Parker April 3, 2017 at 4:46 PM I do not know that song my musical taste lean more towards violin,piano,guitar, but your poem is sad so this song must also be..it's good to be touched by music as this song is for you..good luck in the contest Constance La France April 4, 2017 at 10:13 AM Frederic, this is a love song about growing old together, that was suppose to be my forever. But I love classical music very much. Thanks for visiting.

Chris Green April 3, 2017 at 4:23 PM This was sad my friend. I know how it feels to hear that song, that special song called "our song" and the memories hearing a special song like can trigger. It seems we always go back to the good memories when we hear it. At least it is that way with me. This was very good and relatable. Constance La France April 4, 2017 at 10:15 AM Chris that song does take me back to a beautiful memory. Thanks for visiting my poem.
