#strum
Cold strings quietly Ask for vibrance and true song To be strummed made live On youthful learning fingers Tipped with determination

Guitar Vibrance, A Tanka
It seems what differentiates the mad and the musician are the bow in which they strum with.

Madness.
Lay on your hand 'til it falls asleep so when you strum your guitar it's a stranger's melody. -t.s.

Song of the Sleep
To strum this guitar is for naught. Strumming the strum of the guitar of the guitar. The the guitar is for naught. For naught is the strum. Strumming strum strummy in the strum of the of the guitar. Would she be enticed? She would be strumming. Would she be be strumming the strum of the guitar? She would not be the the strum. I strum the D and the A strums the B and it all comes to the G string. Would I not if I did strum the G if I strummed it so? Yes. Yes. No. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe yes. Maybe yes. Maybe maybe maybe no. No. NO. Shall I have a glass of jack and coke? If I should not should I strum the G of the jack of the jack and the coke? Should she be she be not? Do I dare to entice? If I should dare to not should should I find the jack? I should call should I call if I do if I don’t? What have I to do but strum and strum and drink and drink and think of the flat note? I will call. Will it pickup? The taste of Jack is acquired it is. It is acquired and acquired and not for her. She’s a rosé and what can it be that a cheap whisky can amount to a fine wine? It cannot and I cannot. I cannot and will I call will I again? Will I strum strum the gun of the sun? Will I find the gun will it find the sun and will it it will not find her? How about a game of poker? I play a mean game a game I play. Please please do play with me. If you would please then please oblige. If not then please do. If do it would make all of it worth it. Flush. 2 of a kind. Full House Royal flush. Fold. It is midnight I should be off. Off I shall just strum and never bother. Never shall I bother and never shall I be bothered. Again.

Your vocal cords Please my body As I hear the different tones... Hearing you is so soothing My heart is filled with bottled expressions But once enlightened, feel amazing! Your voice is just so... Beautiful.

Strum
Its funny how I can be dead in the brain Only four hours sleep but still slaying stupid games The people expect trust when its all turned to rust Faulty; and your fault for letting it settle in the dust Like hold up, wait a minute, you ******* me over That logic you used there; are you certain you're sober? Don't you dare try to pin your **** onto me Just because I wont take a drink from a stagnant creek I didn't come down in yesterdays rain I know the difference between real and fake I know when you're brewing an earthquake I know enough to start making a change I have the experience of a thousand words Hidden behind bust lips, sounds left unheard Vocal chords not humming, no six stringer strumming, And buzzing like my phone does when lips start running You could make a change too, stop and think This relation is parched and needs new drinks You've brought it all down, suffered in a drought, Concocted some confusion and forged brand new doubts I won't buy false gold no more, I'm no fool Imma fix it up, but I need my tools Stop acting like one too, start being a solution You want me back? Well stop toying with my trust for your amusement

Play Me Like A Guitar
With manly aggravations he strums- Strums the rust and the anguish away from the strings. I saw them, floating away from him; vibrating in midair Those compositions from his melancholy days, Echoing... The notes have, somehow, reverberated through my cathedral soul- I can feel them. I could still locate the ringing at the ceiling of my skull. And if I wish to I could even feel the faint tremors in my heart- And realize it's actually pulsating... But surely, it's just an after shock from the sounds resonating It would fade away. Of course it will just fade away. It would fade away the moment he stops playing.

Resonance
every time his voice filled my ears my heart strings vibrated so he gently plucked or strummed to match his ballads but as days passed with his playing and vocals getting rougher his fingers bled and scarred and then i snapped gone was the singing boy his beautiful guitar but you can still see them love whenever you hear their song

As I watch you strum away at your guitar, I hope the only thing you're playing is music.

Touch me, like the quiver of my body is a lyre that you must strum. Speak to me, like my voice is a psalm you've never heard. Kiss me, like you're a desert wanderer and my lips an oasis. Love me, like your heart is a wardrum that will thunder without me.

Wardrum
You sit behind a glorious loom Weaving and tugging the threads Not of silk or cloth But of the fabric of reality You manipulate them Steadily weaving my dreams Into a blanket of memories To keep us warm at night As you are plucking the strings Not of guitar or harp But those of my heart Strumming a tune known to all That sweet melody That sacred hymn The song within.

Weave and Strum
the city and it's music every changing the city and it's music daily rearranging you can hear the distant thunder kept in time by city drums a beat of urban tires that makes the city roadways strum the wind blows through the subway you can hear the wires hum it's the city making music shut your eyes and listen some the band has no conductor there are horns and there are strings there's a bass back from the buses listen to the joy it brings it's a concert in the city by the city and it rings the bells from downtown churches and the piegeons flapping wings you've an orchestra around now listen close, it never stops from the cars racing through downtown to the whistle blowing cops it's a different kind of music it's got a rhythm that just pops it's a gritty harder sound that echos to the building tops cars, trucks, people walking all are part of this great band and the best part of this music is it's spread across the land each song you hear is different nothing ever comes out planned each city has a cadence listen close, the show's at hand....

the music of the city
With every strum and every note, he gets sweeter and sweeter. The taste of his lips seem to be dragging my body closer to him, the smell of his cologne and the look in his eye drags me closer. The fascination with getting to know him and how his hands feel in mine. Its not fair. Its not fair. Seeing his face and wanting more, seeing his body and wanting more. Seeing his hands and wanting so much more.

Strum (10w)
It felt so right, clear As a crystal lake in summer. The humidity. Teach me how to breathe under water so that I may Follow the current. Through time and thyme, the scents That drive me to ask. Question everything. Can I make this better? Install a light switch in the sun for you. Sleep, lion. I will not be the sheep You devour. I will be the lioness you sweep away. Could I be the one to trim your ego, Your fragile mind into a sturdy rose bush? Thorns protruding, make me bleed again? Maybe I will keep you. The steady strums of my heart strings calming my ears. And I can not predict what we could discover in this filthy music, Or maybe the silver harps the angels play.
