Poetic Partners
A solitary silhouette
Swaying. Swinging.
Keeping time with
Rhythm and rhyme.
Seamlessly separating slightly.
What seemed to be one becomes
Two figures now. Distinct,
Yet never truly parting.
He remains constant and true.
Content to support her with
His strong and, at times,
gentle presence.
She steals the spotlight.
Twirling around him.
He keeps her from flying
Too high or falling too low.
Moving as one entity
They bend and bow.
He bears her weight.
She flatters his soul.
It is a waltz for two.
Each reaching for the other.
A carefully choreographed
Interplay between him and her.
In the end, they come
Together again.
A tender embrace.
Perhaps she is lost in him.
Perhaps, but no matter.
Each was created for the other.
He is the music.
She the melody.

*Not being blessed with the gift of music as many people are, I find it challenging to define “melody” in words, or at least in non-poetic language. It would seem that in most songs there are three elements or layers: music, melody, and lyrics. The music tells a story. The melody defines the story. The lyrics serve to further define the story. The melody is the layer of the song that “talks.” When I write lyrics to accompany a track of music, I try to imagine the words floating on the music. If the words are too heavy, if they sink, they don’t belong with the music. There should be a gentle balance between the two, a sort of dance.

Hello Amylynn ,
My friend Russ suggested I come over to your site and meet you,so to speak. So glad I did as I had the chance to read your beautiful poem. With your poetic wand you turned what could have been a very ordinary event into a celebration of life.Whether recognized by the the participants or not.Well Done Amy.
Funny how we can come to know one another through thoughts ,music etc.Wonder what it would be like if we were all invisible.we might be a bit less prone to quick judgments?????
Anyway ,the songs on my site are mostly country and country-ISH with hopefully a thought provoking line here and there.
Nice to visit your page and hope to visit again.
All The Best Always,
Gene Thomas
