i need a song
blank page in hand but nothing to write
i should be screaming curses – but that wouldnt be right
my mind a sheaf of odyssey
i need an ode you see
but the drawers of my mind are like a chest of dust
rattling forlorn in wild august gust
i need a savory song
to express since youve been gone long
the pages of my heart turn with the weighty sweetness – you
that glue the first and the last pages together
like raspberry syrup – keeping memories of you
wild iris – that belong in our half-finished hereafter
within these pampered pages – thick and fast
as the loving memories of you that last.
savory.sweet.song
i found you – a sweet song.

I understand exactly what you mean. Music can bring out the emotions sometimes better than you can by yourself.

A song always breaks the wall down to say what you feel. My great Uncles use to sing sam cooke Lord remember me everyday. Whenever I have hard moments like I am now wanting to cry but knowing I can’t. I listen to that song. Nice post sweetness it reminded me to listen to that song now. Keep up the good work

they do. thank you so much, Bluejay. never had a problem finding the right song myself, but this is for all those out there who can’t. hopefully, this poem expresses the sweet things they have in their hearts and suffice – until they find a song.

I think this poem will help them find their song. I know it helped me find mine. Music is a soothing sound to express emotion in a very honest way.
