A Song to my Beloved

The Sunday Muse



                                         "Self Portrait with Accordion" artist Guido Vedovato
 

How lonely it gets

In these lush mountains

Missing the muse of my heart...


Singing paeans to your memories

Brings flashes of happy times

The sweetly fragrant , unruly tresses

The endearing wrinkles and laughter lines

The lusciously tempting  being of yours

Enveloped in the halo of sunshine.


How lonely it gets

In these lush mountains

Missing the muse of my heart...


The haunting folk songs

You crooned in your mellifluous voice

The swirl and twirl of your skirts

And the naughty twinkle in your eyes

You breathed such freshness in my life.


How lonely it gets

In these lush mountains

Missing the muse of my heart...


The emptiness 

On the other half of the bed

Pierces during the night

I take solace in the mountains

In the company of a faithful soul

To calm my aching heart

My eyes flows, as my fingers

Move on the lingering strings.

I am waiting with a broken heart

To meet my other half on the other side.


How lonely it gets

In these lush mountains

Missing the muse of my heart...




(To be honest, didn't know what to write the moment  the prompt popped up. As it is a self portrait by the painter I thought let me write something he must be feeling  remembering his beloved ,while playing that musical instrument.)

  7. There is sadness in this music, and it matches the heart in this picture, I think.

  9. With each repeat of the refrain, you sketched with your poetry pencil: his eyes, his ears, his feet, and the music coming from his aching heart. Well done.
    Good Sunday
