Array ( [sid] => 96579 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => By The Silent Window [time] => 2005-06-02 10:42:01 [hometext] => Another melodrama by yours truly, the tattle-tale of loneliness and its pains. An attempted choreography, of a dance of the lame. [bodytext] => I sit alone, by the silent window.
watching the dance, of falling rain.
The raindrops echo, my tears of sorrow.
That accompanies, my waltz of pain.

A freezing breeze, of absent harmony.
Sings the loneliness, of a tango by one.
It's empty chorus, a hollow melody.
The imperfections, of steps out of rhyme.

The staccato beats, of tempo has died.
it's flame and rhythm, it's warmth is gone.
The heart's metronome, is stilled by ice.
It's love forgotten, as once-popular songs.

All that's left, an abandoned dance floor.
Grey with dust, with notes of broken dreams.
Of hope bereft, it's dances done for.
Into the dusk, with echoes of might have beens. [comments] => 5 [counter] => 205 [topic] => 43 [informant] => Baronhawk [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

I sit alone, by the silent window.
watching the dance, of falling rain.
The raindrops echo, my tears of sorrow.
That accompanies, my waltz of pain.

A freezing breeze, of absent harmony.
Sings the loneliness, of a tango by one.
It's empty chorus, a hollow melody.
The imperfections, of steps out of rhyme.

The staccato beats, of tempo has died.
it's flame and rhythm, it's warmth is gone.
The heart's metronome, is stilled by ice.
It's love forgotten, as once-popular songs.

All that's left, an abandoned dance floor.
Grey with dust, with notes of broken dreams.
Of hope bereft, it's dances done for.
Into the dusk, with echoes of might have beens.

Get back out on that dance floor and find a new partner. Life can only begin again if you let it.

Incredible poetry Baronhawk. Really felt the emotion in this one, the emptiness, and the tortured futility~! When I was young I danced almost every night, and when one partner left, I went out and found another.........do that for you too Baronhawk, don't sit in the rain all alone, life is too short!
Warm love

Good write! I like it! Kind of a melody of its own too. Good job. I like your imagery.
