They were a symbol of my
interest, of your
talent;
Their beat was contagious,
flowing all throughout the
house,
through the walls;
Everyone would want to
listen, always eager for
more.
You even tried to teach
me, but I was never as
good as you would be;
Your talent was incredible,
inexplicable,
irrevocable.
And away it went;
Gone with the wind,
gone with my heart.
When we parted..
all your soul,
all your kindness,
all your smiles,
all your beauty,
all your talent,
was left to the wind.

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you could relate :) I was trying to write something pretty general so everyone who read it could have a piece for themselves. It relates to something rather deep for me, and I'm so happy that I could use something like that to display an outlet for other peope. Thanks again for reading ! (:

let it burn, suffering teaches the soul; let it grow, love nourishes the heart.

This is spectacular!  I have rarely came across a piece that can speak to so wide of an audience at the same time.  It is simple, true, and something that everyone can relate  to on any level.  I personally have lived a life of strong and powerful emotions, which has led me to great understanding, and I can understand much about this poem, not just what can be seen between the lines, but what can be seen behind the lines of your pen.
