You, among other things

You know how there’s that
one song that gets stuck in
your head no matter where
you go and what you do, it
refuses to let go oh follows
on road that lies ahead.

The heart though stubborn
sometimes coincides with
the head, lets out feelings,
all of world’s truths unsaid.

The falling snow, the morn-
ing schedule are little but
disruptions that usher me
through.

No matter what hour and
time of day, you are deep
within like the song in my
head.

    That song in the head can get pretty annoying when you forget a line or two!!!

  2. An original metaphor and a wistful poem, Sanaa. I think we’ve all had that one song in our heads and hearts.

  3. paulscribbles says:

    Love the metaphor… I have had many such ‘songs’ in my head. Happy April and good luck if you go for 30 in 30.

  4. Kerry says:

    I can definitely relate to this poem, Sanaa. Such attachments of the head and the heart and seemingly no cure!

  5. Bjorn says:

    I know about that song… we might need some break for anything on repeat

  6. This is an interesting format. I like the last stanza especially.

  7. Some one loved, someone lost…your words are true. You will carry them forever, deep inside you.

  8. Mama Zen says:

    Lovely writing, Sanaa!

  9. Ellecee says:

    loved these words… they really hit home

  12. Some people stick to the skull and heart and everything else, don’t they? So real, this loving bit.

  13. Marian says:

    This is wonderful, Sanaa. Those songs *do* take root in one’s head and heart, as people do.

  14. Ah, this is beautiful, Sanaa! The song stucked in my head – it happens a lot with me 🙂
    The closing lines justly expresses the emotions.

  15. Isadora Gruye says:

    I like that you chose the one song and how it relates to the narrator. I thought the falling snow as a particularly nice touch. Well Done!

  16. Oh I really loved how you connected this at the end…..yes a deep love is like that song stuck in our heads, although mine plays many tunes for the many moods of love.

  17. Rommy says:

    Some songs harmonize with our own music so well, but we have to watch for those songs that drown out our own songs.

  18. kanzensakura says:

    Lovely poem. The last stanza really speaks to me.

  19. Ah, a song in the head for love.

  20. Jim says:

    An “Ear Worm?” The song, “My little run-away” is sort of that way for me. Literally for songs, but I can’t think of a person I always have in my mind, not even Mrs. Jim. I think your poet is a lucky person if the one remembered is worthy.

    This comparison works beautifully. I know intimately the effect.

  22. Elizabeth says:

    I have people in my head, that no matter how long it has been, remind me of certain songs. And when they come to mind, the song will accompany the memory of that individual. I so agree with what you have said here. Thank you,

    Elizabeth

  23. Old Egg says:

    Yes the heart is stubborn creature isn’t it ? Often sapping our strength and resolve but hopefully saving us from trouble too.

  24. dsnake1 says:

    i think i can relate to that. sometimes the head and the heart sings as one, but most days they are not on speaking terms. 🙂

  25. Myrna says:

    Love the title, love the poem and love the sentiment. This is a sweet, unique love poem. Beautiful.

  26. Ayala says:

    Love the metaphor. Lovely piece!

  27. ZQ says:

    Outstanding work to capture the painting!

    An eloquent and thoughtful contemplative piece, that finishes with a lovely simile.
