In The Music


* I rarely do contemporary poetry, but I came up with this, so decided, what the hell*

Throwing myself into the lyrics of Damien Rice,
I drift along a turbulent breeze of emotions.
How is it that someone I have never met,
listening to his voice and guitar-
Can integrate their thoughts with mine so
Tightly coiled that I lose track of space
And time?

Oh, I know what youre singing about
And I feel the depths of betrayal and want
Like you.
If only I could sing, I'd belt out a sonnet
Of flightless angels and of darkened trials
Where any tribulation to be crossed rises up
Steep and craggy.

Move me with your voice, so powerful and
Erotic, lifting my skirts to take a peek at
My woman ( a skill all musicians have).
But it is when the chords consume me that
I sift through sands of something outside
The realm of all I know and really begin
To think.

I sit and I listen. I think and I dream.
Any moment I'll wake back up and look
Down at these hands of mine, holding
Nothing, and lick these lips that taste
Emptiness. I don't look forward to that
Moment, so I immerse myself here and
Now, in the music.

I found this very appealing. Very emotive. Made me wonder with you. Made me question myself. Powerful writing!
