Notes About The Poem

contest Sad Violin Tunes, Oh Heart Of Mine

sponsor Anoucheka Gangabisson

Vanished Heartbeats

The eyes of my soul cried when we parted
violins filled my heart with shades of black
washing away musical tones we created
they have vanished and will never come back

The sad  strings empty my heart's chalice
to leave a pain-filled and cracked wormwood mind
that spilled my heart's passion down an abyss
to hear the saddest music I can find

The violin brings heartache and misery
where my wretched emotions are prolonged
from the image of her face that haunts me
on a journey of sadness that is long

Your wordplay here is brilliant dear frederick, you write on pain too so well! I love the gothic nature of your poem, delivered in such eloquence. I especially love “ The sad strings empty my heart's chalice to leave a pain-filled and cracked wormwood mind” just impeccable! A fave this is for me… so poignant! And soul hitting. Best wishes for the contest
