Silence is eloquent
Only with the soft sounds within it;
The faint heartbeat of love
Sings a harmonious lullaby in the quiet,
A duet with all that is good.
For all time, this duet sings,
Too confined in the cold souls of men
To convey the yearning in its lovely notes;
Sanity disappears
As the duet itself becomes controversial.
Time is meant to heal all wounds,
But men are determined
To render Time useless;
The duet suffers only torment
As more souls shun Love's song.
Blood and tears are wasted
As wars devour the evidence of Love;
The duet is drowned out;
Explosions and screams erase its music,
And violence can only reject the song.
Illusions of wealth and power
Bewitch the heart with their vindictive fallacy;
Their sole intent is to ensnare the soul.
As Time continues, the Earth dies
Because the enigma of the song is lost.
Man forgets the sound of Love,
Neglects to recall the importance of a light quantum
In every Northern Light,
As the demolition of the soft duet
Goes on in the heart of every being.
The execration that Hate casts
Is ignored, counted among the minor losses;
The duet's death drifts out of existence,
Like the smoke from a Vantage cigarette,
As Haute Couture takes priority over Life, and Time runs out.

Oooh, I definitely liked this ! Especially about how you were kind of writing about a song, other than writing A song, if you know what I mean. I really liked the power throughout this poem, as well. You did so wonderfully with it.
