Music I Heard
by Conrad Aiken
by Conrad Aiken
Conrad Aiken (1889-1973)
Music I heard with you was more than music,
And bread I broke with you was more than bread;
Now that I am without you, all is desolate;
All that was once so beautiful is dead.
Your hands once touched this table and this silver,
And I have seen your fingers hold this glass.
These things do not remember you, beloved,
And yet your touch upon them will not pass.
For it was in my heart that you moved among them,
And blessed them with your hands and with your eyes;
And in my heart they will remember always,
—They knew you once, O beautiful and wise.
Here is a short Biography on the tragic life of Conrad Aiken
Review in poem by Dexter
Romance of prose, adoration expressed,
Emotional Seduction in lettering, flaming language,
Worshipped yearning, craving amputated affection,
A severed, savaged loss of aura-otic caress.
An ode to love lost that swoons and woos,
Where neediness often conquers sincere feelings,
Here we feel the companionship removed,
A limb missing, absent adoration physically manifested.
The life organ in pain, the blood no longer pumped,
Lost, where will another compass of truth ever exist?
