Fine Tune

A Poem by Alpris
"

The picture for this poem is one of my own airbrush works. I hope you enjoy both works :)

"
I can distinguish
her artistically-carved
and ear-sweetening
voice
from colonies of
hoarse horse-mouthed
herds of booming hollers
with feet that thunder
on vulnerable floors
with thumps, blunders and bangs

while she walks curiously,
carefully; and with the
grace
of an undisturbed pond
a gentle paddle
that surprises dumbfounded
ugly ducklings around her
not worthy of treading
her peaceful waters

even in 
beggar silence and the
greedy presence of peers
her voice 
-somewhere in the hall-
conducts an orchestra 
of pleasure, across
my heart strings

you can wade, wade and wade
drown and forever
defile and try to define
the sweet salty
essence of her flow

but you will never taste
what I hear

when I feel her voice

beautiful words, nicely written

Much like this entire work
"conducts an orchestra"

You paint something from another century or even Broadway...
I love the effect of the different fonts, coloring, movement of thought and song like style you deliver the entire piece.

First, the picture is very good.
And so is this poem. I like the contrast in the colors you've used to set the sounds and the feel of your words apart.
Good flow, good visual... good write!
