I Knew A Song Poem by Valerie Dohren

I Knew A Song

Rating: 5.0


I knew a song once,

a long time ago.

Such a lovely song -
about love, and hope, and trust.

The words echoed through my mind,

and the music,

the music captured my heart
and set me dancing with joy.

It was such a beautiful song -
about love, and hope, and trust.

Yes, I knew a song once,

but time has passed
and I no longer remember the words …

or the music.

There is something sad about music we love yet forget. Love can be like that. Yet we must have hope. Lovely write Val.

The lyric we forget, but its melody lingers! You feel that your mind is now devoid of memory of that song, but quite unexpectedly, it can storm into your mind and build a dome in the air similar to the one built by Kubla Khan, reviving the symphony and song of the damsel with a dulcimer whom Coleridge had seen in a dream. Beautiful! !

melancholy expressed through the indirectly, the protagonist knew a song............and now no longer he/she remembers..sad and remorse..written with flow and style.. enjoyed it fully..

Pregnant with a passion that ascends swiftly in tones that are both meaningful and musical then descends even more rapidly into the sea of forgetfulness that captures the theme of the poem in such a way that the reader is left wishing that the song was not forgotten. Excellently expressed my friend!

Val, This is a change from what I've mostly read of yours, but still, filled with feelings that I seem to always share and can relate to. You are such a wonderful poetess, that it is beautiful any chosen style, and a very much loved person to top it off! ! ! {{{hugs}}} always, and thanks for sharing your talent and poems.....and you!
