I am going to write a villanelle as that is my favourite poetic form.
The music is my attempts at the beautiful Warren Zevon song "Keep Me In Your Heart For A While"

If Tomorrow Starts Without Me
You Know I'll Just Be Somewhere Else
I'll Be More Than A Memory

If I'm Not There, Please Don't Worry
I'll Be Finding Stories To Tell
If Tomorrow Starts Without Me

Your Days Will Never Be Empty
I Am Sure That You Will Be Well
I'll Be More Than A Memory

If I Am Not There, I'll Be Free
You'll Be In My Heart, That I'll Tell
If Tomorrow Starts Without Me

There Is So Much I Want To See
You Are My Guardian Angel

Your Smile Is What I Want To See
To Let Me Know Just How You Feel

The Piggy Project
Iβve had so many names in this life I lose track of which ones were ever really mine and which ones I wore because someone needed me to. Some were handed to me before I had words to refuse them, before I knew what they meant, before I knew I could say no. Most werenβt meant to hurt. That doesnβt mean they didnβt leave marks. Marks that told me who I belong to, who I am by way of who claims me, recognizes me in the good and bad, who walks beside me.

Interesting that it's your favourite form. I hate [writing] them! Yours is lovely though. Simple but emotive.
That is beautiful! No wonder villanelle is your poetic style! :)
Nicely done, Mike!
This was so poignantly beautiful! Loved your Villanelle!
So beautiful π
Aww Mike, this was such an enjoyable surprise! I love that song and havenβt heard it for a very long time, thank you for playing and sharing it with us! It is also so nice to see you as a real human person behind this Vocal profile! And of course your poem is lovely π₯°
Awesome. Reminds me of how I felt as I held my mom's hand as she took her last breath. I knew she'd always be with me. Thank you for making my heart swell with repressed love.
This is truly a beautiful and heartfelt poem.
Beautiful!
Beautiful Mike!π₯°
