The Music Makers

Music is more than language. It is connection.

I need my guitar.

The air grows dense

sitting on me

oppressive and grinning.

I need to hammer my axe

clearing the iron

with steel,

so I can breath

so I can connect

to express what I feel.

Three chords and the truth, Mark. I relate to the need for expression, I guess we all do. A true feeling, simply told. Thank you.

for me the axe is my poetry and i need to hammer the words out.
it is the only way i can connect to myself, or at least get some impression of who i am...

Music feeds the soul. This is so beautiful a thought. Thanks for sharing.

describes utter passion and is a nice poem but i feel its a bit incomplete wanted to read more of it

[Mark]

Thank you! I think it's much better to leave the reader wanting more than have them quit reading out of boredom. :)

I so know the feeling... not with guitar but with percussion and maybe soon a brass instrument too. Awesome poem :) (p.s.: sorry I haven't been around school is crazy and so is the rest of my life)

I understand this poem. I always wanted to be able to play a guitar. Become one with music. Would be a good place to be. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
