written in azure rose
A Poem by
jacob erin-cilberto
written in azure rose
i rise to a chilled
morning's beck and call
the bugle of memories
notes swiftly frosting
with the early bare
trees singing background harmony
the lines too long for
swift momentum
i extend the covers back
over my weeping head
you are gone
and i am blanketed with
musings
that warm my pen
even as my heart turns
blue.

Honest and powerful words shared Jacob. One day, us writers, can have the pen and paper, as our last friend. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

I love the title of the poem. It drew me in first. Love the lines, " … you are gone and I am blanketed with musings that warm my pen even as my heart turns blue." Beautiful!

Your poem is written with the sadness of musing but the vastness of your bruising. Hearts turning blue as blood in veins run through. May your heart find the harmony for the queen's sake and Saxony. Marvelous Jacob.

Musings come in all forms for a poet, for better or worse.
Another really nice piece of poetry.
