Somewhere... out there...

~*Metronome of Dreams*~


Tonight...
the teardrops echo
off lonely chamber walls...


Your love awoke
    this sleeping heart
And you...
became musical accompaniment
    to its rhythmic beating

Breathing you in,
    I played your song...
With you...
the metronome of dreams
    marking time


And then...
the rhythm faltered
The song...the dream...
    silenced


Tonight...
the teardrops echo
off lonely chamber walls...

Marking the time
    since there was you...


~vlraynes


"...until you have read the verse on his heart,
you have not truly met the poet.

I felt the movement of the tears resonating through this.
My heart has felt this synchronized beat~
A lovely, heartfelt write my lady~

Powerful, emotive writing poetess Vicky..the kind of impact verses that come from places deep...I love the poetic theme and metaphor you chose to express yourself with.
this is a bittersweet beauty poetess girlie.
Its good to see you back in poetry land.

Im still imagining your voice ...
can see the sparkle in your eyes.
I cant explain your power over me
Its understated understood & beautiful.

very sad for me...I remember piano lessons and having to use that little box that drove me insane...I did better without the damn thing.

..I was already slightly blue tonite...now I am feeling angry..................If he revived the heart, and the hope, in you, only to play with it for a while.......I will not forgive him........
