Cold, smooth and gleaming.
Your body jests me with
My own reflection. Each
Key and note releasing your
Voice and song till you speak
Louder than any human.

Aged worn lacquer glimmers
In mirth as notes as deep as
The everlasting ocean
Are released to waltz upon
The air and embrace my ears

With its melodic magnetism.
Fingers on valves moving
As if all the time in the world
Were allotted to this one
Tune. Each note clinging to
The ear and whispering

Sweet nothings. Light seems
To emanate from the bell
As the melody draws itself to
Its grand finale. Each note
Punctuated till…..
i think,
about everything
every little thing
wether it be the way I walk
Or how best to converse

So much that I unconsiously remove myself from the world and everything in it

Yet even then
I end up thinking,
About nothing at all
Throwing thought aside

And depending on feeling alone
I am the colors of your lies
I am your broken side
I am the sound within your eyes
I am the sight your ears behold
I am the deck when you must fold
I am the quake, when your world shakes
I am the snap, when your heart breaks
I am the tears that you have cried
I am the future of mankind
I am all that you will find
I am your darkest side
As I spiral down wild unthinking ways
you follow me into the darkness
and wait for my cry for help.
The hounding of love for loves sake
you cradle my broken spirit
and mend all shattered dreams.
She puts hearts on things she shouldn't.
She cries at everything but death.
She waits for no one and all.
And can't comprehend grace.
She's a star burning out and running free.
She's everything that's not.
And everything I should be.
She's careful and weary of all living things.
But smiles at death and winks confidently.
Like crumbled words on damp paper.
Fleeting but powerful indeed.
