Listening to every heart

Lonesome of the Heart

‘Tis nothing at all
akin to fairness
this lonesome of the heart
sharp sting, vague ache
this heart it breaks
still beats therein
this lonesome of the heart

All around you
love resplendent lies
still sunshine comes
from hie the skies
the birds they sing
twittering merrily
like an old song
now a lost rhapsody

Faint is the call
of violin’s play
down long hall
this lonesome of the heart
pensive yearning
no one’s learning
from this, this
lonesome of the heart

‘Twill never be better
as there is no other end
‘tis forlorn it is, my friend
this lonesome of the heart

So I will wait
so you won’t know
in winter’s gale we shall
take a walk
while we silently talk
the bitter frozen air
my tears shall meet
and match my soul’s sigh
you won’t see it

‘Tis nothing at all
akin to fair
this lonesome of the heart
vague stinging ache
breaks heart rare
but still will beat therein
in the lonesome of the heart

Kari~This part really aches.  Well the whole piece does but this stanza grabbed me and pulled me in and really touched a place deep within me.  
Great write!

So that you won't ever forget me~

Kari darling sister of the soul, oh my goodness how good a writer are you? This fairly throbs with sorrow and loneliness, and how thankful I am that it isn’t something I have to feel, and hopefully I won’t have to for a long time.

However you’ve written it so clearly the lines are etched with the aching sorrow of it all. I know that one day I will have to walk that lonely road alone, and I just hope that when that day comes, if it comes, I will be able to do it with a bit of fortitude and courage.

This truly is incredibly fabulous writing

youre playing my heartstrings with this melancholy gem of pen...
achingly beautiful write K.
you even make the word lonely more poetic....
as only you could.

Some find subtlety in strangers,
some find subtlety in alone.
Your eyes, you see everything,
my eyes, I see it all together now ... and I know.

Oh I liked those lines Sunshine.
It's a personal matter of the heart
and those tears are not something I like to show off,
at the same time they are hard to hold back.
Lonesome it tis~

Karilea - Such an emotive write.  I like the stanza that Nancy pointed out, the tears combining to make a symbol of the lonesome heart.  Well done.

Faint is the call
of violin’s play
down long hall
this lonesome of the heart
pensive yearning
no one’s learning
from this, this
lonesome of the heart


The strings of the Violin..they do wail..most beautifully in calling loneliness. The beauty is when someone is there to listen and learn..You wrought this home in me.

Sincerely,
Regina
