Music Therapy
Did you ever wake up one morning with a song in your head that just remained there and would not go away? Although that has happened to me several times, this particular song stayed for days and although I love it and it creates sheer joy for me each time I hear it, I needed to express my feelings about this song through poetry.
In tribute to the song "More Love" by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles of which you can hear in the video above, I give you my poem "Music Therapy."
Music Therapy
I awoke.
More Love
accompanied the starring role
in my dream.
More Love
not of the sentimental or erotic
nature but the penned
Motown tune by Smokey Robinson.
This euphoric cacophony
monopolized my thoughts
my senses
my mood.
It fueled brain cells
flowing through my
life blood stream
the lyrical fix
musical drug.
It took hold of me
would not let go
and I held on for life.
Saturating my heart strings
it dictated the day
and inspired my muse
with stanzaic memories
"More Love
and more joy
than age or time
could ever destroy."
Sounds sweeter than
soft whispered
pillow talk. Hanging
on the edge, each word
a joyous infusion
flowing my veins.
I seized the day
on a high
of music therapy.

====very true Jo, music is therapy! and your words echo what music brings, love, and more love! love and happiness! love and inspiration.
Sometimes, songs get stuck into your head because you hate them so much! Then that's not music therapy anymore! hahaha! :)
music is to me
a soul finding harmony
a muse, a therapy
lost in the moment
music and me
heart finds its rhythm
in the core of melody
it fuels my desire
to write my thoughts
from me to you
a poem of some sort!
on a high
of music therapy."
Great piece, thanks for sharing.
C, so true. In this case though that song is like an addiction for me :)
rainfield, yes the heart hears the song and we feel the joy.

Ashley, lol! It happens to me all the time :)
and more joy
than age or time
could ever destroy."
This line makes me think how strong true love is, And for someone you love dearly even time cannot be a factor of love forgotten.
I'm new to blogging and find you are doing a similar poetry/photography thing. It's wonderful.
I don't know if this is the proper way to invite you to visit my blog, and I will follow yours....
