I Knew A Song Comments

Pregnant with a passion that ascends swiftly in tones that are both meaningful and musical then descends even more rapidly into the sea of forgetfulness that captures the theme of the poem in such a way that the reader is left wishing that the song was not forgotten. Excellently expressed my friend!

Very touching. And reading it brought a compassioate sigh. You will sing again. Enjoyed very much.

Val, This is a change from what I've mostly read of yours, but still, filled with feelings that I seem to always share and can relate to. You are such a wonderful poetess, that it is beautiful any chosen style, and a very much loved person to top it off! ! ! {{{hugs}}} always, and thanks for sharing your talent and poems.....and you!

At least our lives are filled with many songs. Good write.

A song maybe we want to forget yet sadly without this song you would not have grown.Pretty special Val. Music takes so much pain away from so many. Thank You X

wow! .. Valerie, you just reminded me of a picture of mine I found a month ago, it was taken two decades ago.. in the picture I am with a friend or shall I say, with a person who used to be a friend... I had forgotten his name because I last saw him a couple of days after the photo was taken, I also knew a great guy. I love this poem. Siya_! !

Yes, the memoirs remain always afresh. Every one gets swayed by some melody without knowing lyrics or meanings. beautiful

As always very well written: and how truthful. The tide of time does dim the song of our vibrant youth and sometimes leaves us sad and melancholic as meaning of ' love and hope and trust' does not remain the same. But you sang, isn't that more important.

Though you no longer remember either the lyric or the music the remains of the thread of memory has evoked you write this wonderful write, Valerie!

Wow: Ain't it da truth, ain't it da truth! Good one.

melancholy expressed through the indirectly, the protagonist knew a song............and now no longer he/she remembers..sad and remorse..written with flow and style.. enjoyed it fully..

The lyric we forget, but its melody lingers! You feel that your mind is now devoid of memory of that song, but quite unexpectedly, it can storm into your mind and build a dome in the air similar to the one built by Kubla Khan, reviving the symphony and song of the damsel with a dulcimer whom Coleridge had seen in a dream. Beautiful! !

There is something sad about music we love yet forget. Love can be like that. Yet we must have hope. Lovely write Val.

we are ever changing crushing and moving we know. love trust hope are only echos that haunts....we must thing via this poem a nice one 10.1

So sad but there must still be music though you've forgotten the words I'm ever the optimist. Lovely write thanks for sharing BB : O)

sometimes the things that we have forgotten becomes even more memorable, , , , , , nice write

It's kind of like that car you used to have.

A commonly experienced and mutually shared double state of memory...long-forgotten & longlost song...yet memorable....reminded me my favorite lines: The music in my heart i bore Long after it was heard no more! ! ! ! ! !

A great poem, the thing with music is that it can come back to you years later to give you memories you thought was long gone. One of my new poems called, A Lost And Lonely Boy, tells of how music can change your life.

beautiful song about love, about hope, about trust. very good. thanks. I invite you to read my poems and comment.
