by Robert Davidson

Yours is the heartbeat I yearn to own
As I touch and lightly stroke your red-gold hair;
I almost feel the kiss of you upon my mouth,
But you push me aside, I stand in despair.

Who has loved has lived full measure,
Even tho' the wind sighs like a muted violin.
But when love has no pleasure
The tense strings throb no more.

One starlight night I thought to steal a kiss.
To bend your will to mine, my single goal;
But a waning moon stared icily down,
'Cause hurting you was like fighting my soul.

Who has loved has lived full measure,
Even tho' the wind sighs like a muted violin.
But when love has no pleasure
The tense strings throb no more. [comments] => 6 [counter] => 160 [topic] => 22 [informant] => robertdavidson [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 15 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => LostLove )

Beautifully penned. Tis true that when the lover turn away the violin strings are silent. Sadly, never to play the beautiful music of love again. Your imagery is beautiful.

I second all the preceding comments. A strong and beautiful write, and unrequited love is a powerful and raw subject.
