A string plucked: Soft, supple, pliant, auriferous, Full-bodied. Vibrations traveling in determined waves Fill the chambers Joyfully cascading down walls, Ringing down halls, The symphony crescendos and falls. A string brushed: Gasps, sings, tender, melodious, Wanton. Whispers traveling in hopeful skips Dance on air Lasciviously over-pleased To be teased And so subtly eased. The string un-plucked: Grows cold Anticipates Grows rusty Wants for just one touch Grows restless Sits in silence Oppressive silence Until it snaps.
