                                   Soft Noise
                                   (Pearl’s Song)

                                   singly sweet
                                   ancients’
                                   chained melody
                                   a poem dulcet
                                   as lovers met

                                   violin’s wire
                                   pianissimo note
                                   faint
                                   euphonious lyre
                                   operetta’s float

                                   harp’s song
                                   chorded pearls
                                   strung round
                                   love’s throat
                                   in silver swirl

                                   thoughts too
                                   fragile drift
                                   souls along
                                   chained melody
                                   Pearl’s song

Karilea, this is so lovely and lyrical.
I really love it!  Gentle as new fallen snow.
hugs, Nancy.

But as long as you're here you might as well dance~

A melody of sound made with words. This is very beautiful. I love it.  

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

Oh my, how very pretty this one was. I loved how delicate it felt as I read it Sunshine.

=======================================

yes...i must agree with my fellow poets...
this is indeed delicate..lacy...fragile.
it lingers sweetly like a fragrance...
like a melody playing in the back of ones mind that is attached to a special memory....
or a whisper from a lover.
And the beautiful poetic vocabulary adds to its impressive pleasures.
this is lovely K...and further proof of the gems I am missing with my computer problems of late.
*sigh* so much poetry...so little mothy time  

I would wait till the end of time for you,
Then do it all again ... it's true.
I can't measure my love for you,
There's nothing to compare it to.

Sung well...all of the instruments...I like
how you do this...in spite of some of the
words requiring me to break out my Websters.

Thanx Karilea.

This feels so victorian with such softened flair. Like a blushing bride to be. This is very lovely Sunshine. Saving this. It would be a beautiful write within a framed victorian piece of art!


Sincerely,
Regina

It's all in the mind
Except for what's in the heart.
