Velvet Vocals

by Elapsed   Aug 18, 2009


You were a song written within the shadows
Brought to life daily, with your sweet libretto

Followed by the rhythmic sounds of a piccolo
Accompanied by an orchestra of endless sorrow

Conductor of this symphony of love
Artfully directing this replica octave

Caught up in the emotions of the show
Velvet vocals flooding my enchanted soul

Tainted smirks behind the window
Wrenched through life's mysterious willow

Waking from a tear soaked pillow
A dream, which I now, must let go

    I really enjoyed reading this poem. For me the metaphor between a piece of music and this person works quite well to describe not only their personality but also what this person meant to you. It's a beautifully crafted poem that holds some very real emotions in it. Wonderful. You'll get my vote :)

    It is wonderful to read a poem from you once again. Nitin is so right you haven't lost your magic. I can feel the sadness coming from your words. Yet also I get a feeling of hope.
    Great job!
