solo piano and contemplation songs in D minor to distract desolation and turn it into poetry bittersweet, solemn, raw emotion encapsulated through rhetoric into the sound waves, into the billows a letter read aloud, a message in a bottle
with melancholy rigor, and the finest of pledges to sentiment, a vow to exhibition and art, and commitment to fighting trespassers
but please, dear, don’t escape, the woods of stability is for the wild and those who are lifetime trained so toast to passion, stay for the verse delay the sojourn for the song and show often rest is the answer to unsettling dreams
sip the grape vine, if you please, but not forget the pen and paper by your bedside, never neglect the manuscript, not ever cease the creation
write away the man that left you, destroy the character in your prose, demolish the utopia he once yearned, a poet’s fists are stronger than the fighter’s for the writer’s battle continues beyond the ring
step out of the sorrow, relay the violin’s lingering echo, and one day the call outside will pause for a tranquil summer day when you are not alone
