Melody

by nouriguess   Sep 6, 2011


If only you were
a melody...

I would linger upon
my piano
composing your
existence
at every midnight.

I would daydream
of the same
banal love while
singing you.

I would age on
a balcony that floats
away from my dusky house
or my dusty shelf,

so that I'd oftentimes
head for you,
dropping in

(without even
questioning myself.)

    This is one of my favorite from you. I've read it a few times and never had time to comment. I think it's beautiful and simple, but has so much emotion and really says so much more than a lot of your pieces. I think this is almost dreamy feeling and allows the reader to sink their toes into it, a sense of comfort. I like the use of dusty and dusky.. but the one part that tripped me up was 'banal love'. "Banal" sounds like such an ugly word (lol) for the rest of the tone of this piece. Point being it's too pretty for a weird sounding word ;)

    I like your title, it fits perfectly with the poem but isn't boring. It caught my eye and set the tone immediately. Great write :)
