Floating gently on a cloud....

The Music of Goodbye

The music of goodbye
The silent melody
In every word we say.
The tear in every smile,
Each touch burns me
With the joy of pain.

The music of goodbye
The cacophony
Wreaking havoc within.
This is the song I sing,
To the image of an
Immovable soul.

The music of goodbye
It is our harmony
The tug-of-war we play.
Moon never meets ocean,
Though entwined they be
Dancing eternally.

The music of goodbye,
Sinister Polyphony
Side by side far apart.
My heart singing again
Music of my destiny
The music of goodbye.

Some music writes itself on our hearts..and some music our hearts write... this seems the latter to me..

I hope the refrain itself does not become syncopated and that you find harmony...even in good bye

Thank you CaptHair for your kind reply For me this was one of the poems where I don't really know what mood I was when I wrote it, because I was inside the mood. I only wrote it yesterday but it is one of the nearest to my heart that I've written...well I say that quite often so
But yeah thanks for the response
Luv, Liz xxx

Liz... the closest to our hearts seems to always be the last we wrote in some ways..for it is the moment we are closest to at the time...

We all write for different reasons and what ever the reason we write the music of hello or good bye or just ho hum... it sings to us and most likely to others as well... keep writing them... and along the way I think ou'll find a lot of yourself you didn't realize was there.

Cpat...You're right, and I will definitely keep writing Lol yet every time I write something, I swear that's the end of my writing, that I can't "top it"...thank goodness I usally do manage to, or my "best" piece would be really rubbish
Thanks again for replying
Luv, Liz xxx

The music doesn't hold a candle to the poetry.  

I think this is pretty good, Liz... the repetition was alright but I didn't like how you used it as the closing line, it was kind of predictable...

I like how you kept the rhyme of the second line of each stanza similar.  Harmony, cacophony, polyphony... that was a nice touch.

Well written and thanks for sharing with us in Sanctuary.
