High Notes

High Notes

A Poem by Christoph Poe
"

If I could play

Sounds through words

I'd be playing them now.

Like the strings of a violin,

I'd awe you

With such smoothness.

Effortless vibrations

Rising on falling under the heat

Of a rigid string.

The horns would stretch their necks,

And howl at the golden chandelier.

The flute,

It's body so nimble,

Will scream its own tune,

Struggling to be heard,

But heard sorrowfully none the less.

Cellos bow

Like the gentlemen they are.

They are the weeping higher power

That all fall upon.

The drums open their mouths,

And doom a broken society.

The symbols clash

And try all rise.

Every corrupted piece.

And fall in harmony.

I found this so beautiful my friend, first the musical piece you choosed, fantastic, second the whole feeling of this, thrills me, because, you are one in harmony with your quill. With these higher words, you did touched the music, and the music touched you. You became one... Very brilliant, sensual, absolute ears here. :) Well done.

'Sounds through words" isn't that what poetry is all about, you've captured it perfectly here, love the harmony in this enticing piece, lovely.
