Melisma Poems | Examples


The Tenors Song

My wife told me she meet a guy.
She and I were having problems.
But she and I remained freinds and we
still lived together.
I bought her a phone for her birthday.
When she meet the guy she gave him
her number.
We switched phones days later.
She forgot to tell the man her new number.
Months went by and one day a guy texted me.
I was waiting for this.
I acted like my wife and talked to him.
I started flirting a he said he wanted to hook-up with me.
I said yeah and said I'd meet him at the "Chef Ritm's" Resturant.
I sat in the back. He came in: I started laughing.
He texted me
and I said I was outside.
I sat there looking at him.
I got up and walked right by him.
When I got outside I sat on my car. 
I texted him and told him to comeout side.
Moments later he was outside looking around
and then...........( to be Continued!)

and call response.....

Love's Infinity

On this quiet day, his deep-set eyes catch my mischievous glances
For our love has always been filled with late-night dances 
With an empty bottle of wine on the table, two pairs of left feet intertwine into blissful trances 

Intoxicated by our joyous passion, our spirits become an operatic symphony
His vibrato harmonizing with my melisma in total synchrony 

And as the conductor beckons for the climax, our voices sing until we reach euphoric ecstasy 

As we hold each other’s wrinkled hands and breathe in unison, I savor this moment’s tranquility 

Recounting the times of our youth when he was filled with virility 
And I with my ever-present felicity 

How powerful our bond and absolutely pure in its resiliency
And with this truth, I find peace in this love that fills me with invincibility 
Even as we wait for slumber’s infinity

Oh, this love of serendipity 
Our body, mind, and soul becoming the holy trinity 
I can’t believe we were blessed with this divinity 
The type of love God intended as we shared our hearts unconditionally
