Lingering in Silence

by Krathia   Mar 24, 2008


I still hear
in the mists of slumber
whispered lullabies
from a childhood
I no longer remember

I still taste
the saccharine melodies
that played so sweetly
in the dance hall as I waited
for the kiss that never came

I still recall
the lyrics to our songs
and even now, I wonder
why you didn't take your guitar
with you when you left

I still feel
these memories plucking at
my heartstrings and I
still hear the notes
lingering in silence

    All i can say is... Wow... the way you wrote this piece was simply amazing.

    this would be my favourite stanza, along with the last. i still hear lullabies from my distant childhood also.

    it was told so well, like a story. and the ending was absolutely brilliant. the pain and feeling that you put in this piece earns it a 5/5

    an absolutely fantastic read

    Keep Writing, hun

    This poem is very interesting! But i didn't know if those were the emotions you were really petraying or you were just making a poem to the five sense because you forgot smell but this poem is very cute and it flowed very well but i was just confused on the topic you chose to write about! 4/5
