I can feel you through the drumbeats
Your presence lingers in the band
Through these notes at last out hearts meet
I can nearly touch your hand...
"Let the sounds echo in your mind
Let the tunes caress your soul
Wallow in the notes you find
As they victimize you whole
Bite into the melodies
Sample rhythms,
Taste the beats
Sink into sweet harmonies
Feel the music,
Tap your feet."
Ode to music,
Dear, dear music
At last my final
Reason to live
Though my other has passed
From this Earth long ago
I can nearly feel
His heart within...

Does this seem like an ode to you?

I liked that you used life poetry though I am not a fan of rhyme. You had some great metaphors in this and I could feel myself in the scene of things. I like how you compared love to music. Thank you for entering.
