PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

The depth of a beating sigh
Knows not when to inhale or blow
Tears forbidden to outward move
Turn inward to seek out the abyss to fill
Rhythm of heartbeat and breath falter
Desperately reaching out for the dance
The music
The note
Bending soul’s ear so low
Catching a faint sound of a bird’s song
Proclaiming hope…. bringing life…. restoring breath
But is elusive as the wind.
     “Bird!”
“Come back!”
“Don’t fly away!”
“Where are you?”
“Don’t leave!”
“I need you!”
“Please wait for me!”
        “I’ll fly with you!”
One note…a song…a masterpiece fades
Blending into the howl and scream of voices
Ensnared by a love thought true.
Taunted by a love that could be
Tortured by a love that will never cease.
