[hometext] => I wrote this poem because life begins so sweetly, but as you mature and love, life has the habit of turning sour.
[bodytext] => At the start, a soft melody At seven, the tune slows Then the eye catches another And the darkness starts to grow A tickle, an itch, an urge ‘Till finally those hands meet While the melody plays lower Solemnly changing its beat Tired of being ignored, The music sings loud and clear So blissfully enchanting When the lips meet, then say “My Dear” But, if ignorance is bliss... Disaster strikes the notes Fallen, they begin to bleed Sweet life force draining, nothing’s left Happiness is now not a want, but a need Forget-me-not demons Rush onto the pages They swathe the notes in shadows Coating them with hatred, with rages The melody’s conductor Skin gray as night Finds his baton snapped in half He does not attempt to fix it; within him, there’s no fight That sweet soft melody of birth Won’t ever resume Adjust to the silence Hell knows no tune [comments] => 1 [counter] => 126 [topic] => 21 [informant] => mariah [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )
