This sounds like a bittersweet love song in your well written poem. My husband has been very ill this past year and many of my poem have that ring to them. He is getting better but I felt a somber tone to this well written piece.

Well done. Blessings
Janet

    Yes, at the end it's somber but in every relationship, no matter how old the people are. One of them is going to die first normally anyway. so they are on the ride together until one of them dies

    Thank you so much for your wonderful comments and that extra star. It is much appreciated.

Love this musical love story. Pam, where do you come up with it. You have such wonderful imagination, so many wonderful songs to share.

Some memorable lines for me:

"Emotions sent; emotions caught,"

and, you're the tick but I'm the tock,

Thanks for sharing. I wish I could write poems like you.

This is such a touching piece that explores the depths of human emotion and connects the reader to a seemingly concrete setting that a reader could touch. I felt connected and entertained. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Pam,
This is a well rhymed and metered love poem/song. I like the description of the true love between them with the extended metaphor of music. It shows how much love can change a life.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Have a good rest of the day.
Joan

There is definitely a musical rhythm to your words in this poem. The ending was sort of bitter-sweet like the ending of most love songs. Nicely done. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Pam, I really loved this poem. It's bittersweet, of course, but it also shows that hope is always there even when great sorrow hits. I enjoyed this well written poem. Ulla xcx

    Well I think with any couple, one of them will die first. I did not indicate that he was young or she was young and could've been in old age.

    Thank you for your wonderful comments and this extra star. It is much appreciated.

This was wonderfully written. It flowed so well, and the rhyme scheme was excellently carried out. It also told a sweet story. Beautiful job!

Not sure I understand the whole of the love story. It seemed like it needed more meat and depth to chew on it. I caught the part about how separation from each other works into this and I think understood the vehicle or analogy of how we our voice/our song lives on and others then hold our memory. Not sure if I caught this correctly. Just wished you could fuse more emotion, but with so few words, I respect and admire those who can do poetry with such restrictions.

    Are you a storyteller or novelist?

    It's true that in poetry there's less room for verbosity

    This is simply a love story and it's told in musical fashion. There's nothing more to it than that.

    Thank you for your great comments and inquisitive nature
