Melancholy haunting
This quiet mental taunting
Living in a downward spiral
Of make believe and wanting
To live and laugh and love is sound
But my cacophony is softening
An orchestra on paradise ground
This solo piece is daunting

WELCOME CYNTHIA ~ Thanks for your first poem. Love the structure it ripples with rhyme & rhythm ~ like a good poem should. Many times in our lives as we pass from our 20's to 30's we have periods of "downward spiral" when the Music slows down the orchestra diminishes and end up as a melancholy solo. Love your musical metaphors. In my experience (I'm 33) these troughs of despondence don't last for ever and we are often better for the experience ! Yours BRIAN (UK)
Cynthia, this is fantastic. I imagine it softens for many soloists. Warm welcome.
Welcome to the site Cynthia!
What a wonderful first poem you are sharing with us. Thank you!
Hard to believe this is your first. Brief yet profound. May the cacophony continue to soften and being replaced by euphonies. Thanks for sharing.
