If I were a guitarist...(benign jealousy)

It's tough I swear to let go of your best possessions. But sometimes the best you could do is to let go...that's the spirit of being human.

if i were a guitarist

i'd let it embody my soul

i'd ask it take away my whole

i'd let not no one touch it 

i'd bear not no one play it

but me; oh my happy!

but if there'd ever be

other than me

let it be anyone, 

in any corner 

of this world,

who could do more justice

who could do much better

whom with it'd be happier

but if only there'd be 

other than me

someone

that

won the one

i'd let them more than just lay their eyes

on my best possession; i won't think twice

if i were a guitarist

Author's Note

Personally, I think this is my best poem/ song ever. The mind marries the heart. [ <3 ]

I have to add that 'it' stands for guitar as is obvious.

"i'd let not no one touch it" Was this line, and the other two like it, meant to be written this way? Maybe I'm interpreting your intention wrong, but to me it seems like it should be 'let not a one touch it.' Anyway, I loved the artistic feel to this...I started hearing chords in my head after I was done reading. Very beautiful, and the message is so wonderful...

Good poem,I like poems about music.You may or may not be a guitarist, but you are young enough to learn,and a poet as well.And it´s true.No guitarist lets anybody touch his guitar.The blues guitarist B.B.King calls his guitar Lucille.Anyway , to the point, a good work.Well done.

I love this poem. When I first started playing I couldnt afford a nice amp and I was given one, but there was a catch. The deal was that I had to write my my name, town and years I owned it inside and when I could afford a good one, I had to find a person who wanted to learn and pass it on to them. It had a lot of stories to tell. lol. Now, I never sell my old guitars. I'd much rather donate them or find a kid somewhere who wants to learn. Great work!

[SoulCrusader (Yas)]

I agree..excellent rythm and tempo that is perfection :)

[Boldpen]

WOW!!!
This piece was brilliant. Loved it. The message beautifully decorated with words and expression was one in a million.
Great Job!

Quite frequently, the response that comes back says that it is and is not someone else. Words to ponder.
