Like a mad tune you ring Reverberating Inside the turmoil of my head Calming the fret Strange notes you play Like the petals of a rose Falling on a flamenco guitar On a lifeless day Where words I mumble are in prose In my world where silence is ****** And joy is unknown I listen to The queer notes that you plucked Dark curtains are torn Easing the tension In my spirit This music you create Is all but silence And sans it The petals of the rose I reckon might sadly wilt.
