No Sweeter Sound

This poem was inspired by a TV show who's target audience was children and teens but I happened to see it as an adult and fell in love with the story and when an aspiring poet falls in love, poems happen! The show is called Are You Afraid of the Dark: The Tale of the Last Dance.

Transcript

No Sweeter Sound Sound fills the room as his eyes fill up with tears.

No sound has he heard sweeter,

Not in all his years.

He knows that he can't have her,

But wishes she be near.

He wants to hear her play,

Without a single fear.

Captivated by her essence,

But afraid she is at first.

Soon she plays with all his praise,

And dance they do till dawn.

She sees beyond what is,

To all that he could be.

An artist or a poet,

If only he were free.

In her eyes is his whole world,

In his she sees a home.

A place to play and love all day,

In a world that's all their own.
