Play me

As you take a silent breath, and your fingers search their way

You close your eyes, and the first tone rings in your ears

Your heart skips a beat

The tension between your fingertops and the keyboard

Leaves you breathless

Your heart is bleeding out into clean tones

And you let yourself sweep away

Your body is floating on the back of the sound

And you let yourself go

You let yourself go

Your body is going numb

And your silent heart speaks 

Your spirits are laving you

In a ringing E flat

You surrender to yourself

And I can only wish you would play me like that.

[The Waterlily Pad]

Beautiful piece. I think the depths seemed to let go of a true solid heart's yearnings. You withheld nothing in this piece, I could tell it was of your words because the rhythm was in ease of everything. However, you controlled the pace with the flow of the poem to create an excellent example of poetry on here! I'd recomend you to add some way to alarm the reader; sort of like express the modern era like after you say 'surrender to yourself' you can add 'a heart smothering your soul, a wreck less defeat of one with no morals'. This is harsh but it makes the reader a little up tight as you refer to them in such critical light.


Well done 👍👌
