Frozen hands yearning burning touch Meet rusted strings for plea At the dusted and forgotten wood they clutch Silent prayers from the mouth flee
Build callouses, break promises From every chord brushing thy fingers From lips that would sing choruses As the echo of one's soul lingers
As the evensong fill the room's deafening void Much like the ringing of one's ear Meet the tranquilness and calm you avoid Letting your heartbeat be heard loud and clear
The quiet audience rest their heads Down gentle pillows which only heard so much And in between carefully sewn threads Slumber dried out tears and such
In the iris-hued dark Thou pupils seem to blend in Not leaving a trace or a mark Even as they see thy bare skin
Vespers audibly mistaken and imperfect Form melodious lullabies for the ****** As we embrace wholeheartedly the wholesome defect As the syncing flaws are together crammed
Fear not the cold and shaking limbs Nor the purple, wet lips that swore Especially the broken cries as your mind's hymns For these silent prayers are indeed the heart's uproar.
Day 2 of #NaPoWriMo 2020. Lotsa references. But this was fun.
