Between Song and Soulmates

Humble are these attempts at poetry  
Mental images dance to dulcet thought  
Swirling tones and words; streaming floetry  
Working my canvas against words I wrought  
 
Haunting verberations traverse this melody  
 
Of my heart and mind; music dominates  
Rhythm, rhyme and harmony…speak to me  
All emotion and feeling resonates  
Mental thoughts channeled by a melody  
 
People falling in love. And so it goes  
Children soon will follow as pages turn  
Familiar, a dream everybody knows  
Soulmates sharing of life’s earthly sojourn  
 
An old couple sitting on a park bench  
Recollection upon years of their truth  
Cherished, memories’ all embracing clench  
A shimmering reflection of their youth  
 
But, sometimes familiar dreams are not meant to be  
 
The author and authority is Fate  
Scripting life’s theatrical storyline  
An unimagined Destiny with date  
Mismatching timelines of two intertwine  
 
The keynote, what is and will always be  
A solemn song sings unto which love seeks  
Consoling what is lost and found in me  
Faith remaining when a silent heart speaks  
 
Within the meditation of psalms I find peace  
 
Instrumental, my symphonic shiver  
Melodic woodwinds strings brass percussion  
Transcendental emotions deliver  
Feelings resonating in duration  
 
It’s a little bit funny; puppy love  
Once upon a time as a teenager  
Serenading, as if words from above  
Head over heels in my feelings for her  
 
Consonance Smiles  
 
Yes definitely, I awkwardly sang  
Fifteen years old in my naivety  
She giggled. And I patiently practiced  
I then waited…  
 
                    …Eight years later  
 
Now as I think; we were still kids back then  
My forever soulmate, “do you recall?”  
I sang my version of Elton’s “Your Song”  
As I made my proposal on one knee  
 
Dissonance Frowns  
 
If yesterday was always Monday eve  
Endlessly talking on the telephone  
If time stood still; who would ever believe?  
These many years since, and yet I’m alone  
 
Solitude lies beyond troubled waters  
Drifting away in lyrics of a song  
A thoughtful crescendo never falters  
Forever in my refrain, I belong  
 
Graciously, yesterday still promises of…another day  
 
Of my heart and mind; music dominates  
Speak to me…rhythm, rhyme and harmony  
All emotion and feeling resonates  
Mental thoughts channeled by the melody  
 
My poem, somewhere between song and soulmates
