Song on The Brain

Song on The Brain

 A song comes in my head

from out of the blue

  like a dream, suddenly remembered

 and it speaks to me, repeating

 words and melody of regret and longing 

'How Much I Feel,' by Ambrosia

haven't heard it for such a long time 

'...got a family now

for years, we've been going strong...

I live for your loving....that's how much...

that's how much'

 missing a love so pure

haunted by a bitter-sweet memory

wanting it all back again

though time and circumstances  

align against me

thank you so much, Cleo....I really do appreciate your comment with this poem, I tried something a bit different, with this one, trying to capture a tone and how music and almost instantly affect someone, pull them into the narrative of the song....thanks for the feedback, cheers doc

Ah yes, Chris, that song will bring happiness or tears no matter how long ago, and, there is always the song that gets stuck in our head and not go away :-). Enjoyed this write very much and the highs and lows of a song :-)

Christopher this is definitely a very relatable write and would think more would have commented. What I like is the realism in this or maybe it is how I am and I am very serious about music. I get lost in the words and the tune only to relate it to my life which good music has a way of doing that to people or it beings up memories as you stated from a different time in your life. Awesome write brother, will talk later.

hey, thanks, Devon, comments are good, but that's not why I write, glad you found it relatable, though...been so tired lately busy season for me....hey, what did you think of the season finale of Game of Thrones?  No spoilers but that exceeded all expectations; especially the first twenty minutes; love the violin music as well....cheers, D, keep pumping out the good writes; I'm reading them, will start commenting when I get some rest... peace

Come with me
