Taut these strings that resound The slow vibrations of thick wound wire Move the air within chest And I am reminded that of the night You are my breath and fill my lungs To expand these brittle ribs and the cage they form As the resonance of melody as is moved within Finds the scales of nocturnes Played a slow quiet hum upon the sternum Building upon itself the ache Of you not being here to touch with chords I might play upon the trebled sheets of you Music all began within the voids To fill in the space between the nothing that was And the empty internal with something other Than the hopeless dark screech of demons As haunt us all within the metronome of hours We call our own Would that these fingers could bend upon the fret That lies along your spine The strings plucked in a Marking of slow 4/4 time upon the verbs Whispered by air that moves with bare brush The coils undone to find revealed A melody of vowels sung in soft O’s Along the pearl of white keys depressed I might find then within my bowels the trembling Of low rumbled earth as it in a quake moved A fissure beneath my feet as spread To the bow strung in a fray of gut along long repeated passages Some bed time stories are for adults As are the notes coaxed from lips when Music is played seductively upon the ends of One finger down then two The tonality changes with the writhe of tips Pressed firmly against the neck Vibrato begins impassioned with tenderness Do not evade Do not rescind Nocturnal pages dog eared in memory Ebony upon the short keyed notes begin And I hold my breath As I try again to hold the nocturne of you Within |

Building upon itself the ache Of you not being here to touch with chords I might play upon the trebled sheets of you My friend... you do not play fair. *S* You should at least post a reminder for me to take a deep breath before I begin reading... for your words make me forget that little necessity. *S* Just when I think I've read your best... you prove again your boundless depths. This is magnificent! |
