Melody is, and ever will be, the very flower of music. ~August W. Ambros
I remember you in melodies
After silence has finally let go
Songs my heart still carries
from a life I once had known
thoughts conjured up like spirits
from a beat that was all our own
dancing on the beach barefoot
holding hands the whole way home
I remember you in lyrics
As the old Victrola plays our song
Where kisses linger so softly
The ones we shared all night long.

This is a beautiful romantic piece, love it, Carrie.

ReplyDeleteGreat romance,
ReplyDeleteI'm in a trance.
Beautifully done, Carrie
and these words bring back a special memory for me . . . :)
Oh those kisses that lasted all night!
ReplyDeleteLove this, Carrie. So romantic, especially the kisses all night.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your Mr. Ambrose. Melody seems to have been lost anymore, in favor of endless dance beats and techno nonsense. Melody really is the soul of music and I love it.
ReplyDeleteFor me, too, music is like time travel. There is no distance a song can't walk (or dance) in a matter of beats. The tone of this poem illustrate those feelings so well--music is magic that conjures what was.
