PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

you wrote
unbeknown
to me
what was
to be
a 'Garlic Ballad'
nouveau haunting virtuoso
that you were
I never dreamed
such beauty unleashed
could drape
so much eventual
heartache upon me
but
clever composers
never reveal
their final score
not until
their
audience
is already
quite completely destroyed
and crying uncontrollably
in their seats
'twas a pity
I couldn't sneak a glance
at the lyric wounds
you prepared
just for me
for I would have stopped
listening to that particular
piece of music
and changed composers
immediately
more than a decade ago...............
