Romancing Violins
By NeroMatches
If I were obliged to tell you the truth,
I would tell you that I
love you,
But the world is free, and there is no
Urgent need
for me to profess everything.
So I scribble a mental note
on the book cover
Of the dictionary of my unspoken thoughts,
Breathed here or there, under other words
Completely unrelated, entirely
different
Leaving me straying on another point before
Finishing the one which I really wanted you to hear.
But
the world is free, and you went soaring
Around distant galaxies,
wheeling with stars
Breaking the barriers of cosmic infinity;
Kissing always the clouds which could never kiss you back,
And I am tired of serenading the wind.

The tone of this is gorgeous, strikes a chord. I could sense some resignation, along with hints of sadness. I enjoyed reading this a lot.

"And I am tired of serenading the wind." in that sentence... sadness, maybe a goodbye. I read this, then moved on to read other people's poems, and then I had to come back. This was beautiful.

such a sad tone... like watching a beautiful child slit her wrists........ like waving to the sunset... I dont know, but it just has a beautiful-sad way of saying goodbye..... as I read it now...... kudos.

Excellent poem. When I started to read this I was expecting a bog-standard unrequited love poem but was nicely surprised to get something a million light years better.

I think this is very pretty, I like the image of thoughts under thoughts, of a whole other self hidden away under another personality..
