Calmed my heart, filled my soul,
You were my sweetest tune.
You made my lips tremble.
You made me kiss you even at noon.

You were my artwork,
With those touches that glitter.
Your grin, your smirk,
Are subject of my pen and paper.

Young, dark, and fearless,
You were my knight.
It was real and I was conscious
When I could not, you fight.

You're gone awfully, suddenly.
And despite your absence,
You are still my favorite melody,
The tune that has now silenced

I'm fixing the canvas you distort,
Filling the colors that are in drought.
But you are still my artwork,
An abstract I never figured out.

This is my only fright,
I am losing my defender.
But you are still my knight,
This time, in a rusty armor.

.........................................................­.................

You were mine,
and still mine, I believe.

And today your memory came suddenly
with that song  that we had never heard together,
with a lyric that I can´t understand
and even though… that melody sounded like you…
and what we had
when our love was so beautiful…

And my mouth drew a smile
not a sad one
maybe a nostalgic one for all the time that had passed
and how different is Life of what it used to be then...

And in a deep breath I thought
that I´m glad to coincide with you in this life...
I´m glad that you had been my first love
Your melody lured me in,
i lost myself in the bittersweet euphony.
But when i got close enough to hear the words,
they were like nothing the tune promised.
Full of anger and wrath,
you trapped me in your chorus.

Not a love song
Not a sad song
Just words to express
Things I've tried to supress

Not a love song
Not a sad song
Nor any kind of song
Its a melody untold
Trying to rummage upon my old poems and found this
Psalm of Worship: (Psalm of Worship: a melodic composition.)

As I look upon the rivers
And the beauty of the sea—
All your hands have made, Lord,
Which includes me,
I humbly yield my heart
In submission to your will.
Let all the earth keep silent—
The winds and waves be still.
Let the angels humbly bow
At the footstool of your throne.
And all the people worship,
For you are God alone.

I will declare your goodness
And exalt your fame.
You have done wondrously,
And holy is your name.
Holy is your name.

I have blisters on my fingers
from playing for too long
because I was trying
to learn your favourite song

I have a croaky voice now
from singing far too high
from trying to sing a melody
that reaches towards the sky

My guitar is out of tune
because of what you said
you told me I was good and
I let it go to my head

My uke is sitting sadly
untouched for quite awhile
because what I play isn't worth it
if I can't make you smile.
Inspo from "I've got blisters on my fingers!" out of the recording of 'Helter Skelter' by The Beatles


I just want him to be happy


at least happier than I am

a single note slips out of the chord
as the others cling to safe harmony
she turns the soundwaves to crackling lightning
she becomes the tension of a catastrophic earthquake
she pushes the limits of the dam and threatens to flood
she is dissonance
and she will hold out before her resolution
i'm doing music theory homework right now and we're talking about non-chord tones. suspensions and anticipations are the ****.
