Feel

Written but minutes ago.

It's more than just the sounds together

Melodic tones are surface details

Feel it, breathe it, watch those who do it

Beauty pours from limb to string

And when I'm barely hanging on 

My weighty heart brought forth by song

Those strings, those few electric wires

Stirring love and starting fires

Desperate fingers grasping threads

Slipping, plucking, chords and notes

This hollow body is alive

What chaos will begin within?

Simultaneous joy and despair

Repeating passion thick and rare

Oh, overwhelming weight on me

Fill me up or let me be

Sigh and flex, hiss and moan

Express, create, and be inspired

Troubled lives cause weary minds

Hold this fear, this drive to play

I feel what you are feeling

Your mind confused and reeling

But I've not felt what you felt

Can't match the pain under your belt

And now a burning glow is starting

Now the crowd can't risk departing

Feel and breathe, unite as one

Finish what you have begun

And now I see you singing, screaming

Our bodies yearn, our souls are steaming

Preach your love or claim your hate

As we all pray for instant fate

In this moment soft and harsh

Understand why you are here

How can you help but feel it?

How can you not believe?

One last serene, climactic note

I feel us rise, I feel us float

Feet lift the floor and land as one

We've finished what we have begun

I have answered your read request, and like the ones before it, this one did not disappoint. I'm going to look again in a minute to see if you have any stories, (I can't remember if you do,) or the like that match the quality of your poetry. If it does, then I will be quite miffed, because then this unofficial title I've claimed for myself: 'The Greatest Writer Ever,' would be incorrect. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem lying to people, but I can't lie to myself. Well I can, but I know I'm lying. At least I usually know when I'm lying to myself. Sometimes there's an odd moment in the early morning when I can trick myself into waking up, because my alarm clock is twenty minutes ahead, but that rarely works anymore. But that's a little personal. And you can't tell anyone that. Now like I was saying, it was a good poem, and I wish I wrote it.
