One last chord

One last chord

A Poem by Ghoul

My heart was the keys
her mind was the hands

she played the piano
creating taunting harmonies

As each finger lands upon the cold surface of my keys
the strings were plucked beneath till my knee's gave out

The melody of death
the harmony of love 
as memorising as the last

her fast hands showed the galaxy within her palms
igniting my eyes with doves, 
pure white for hope

but as time took its toll
her fingers pressed down the lower notes
a roll of shadows dragged me from the dove infested world

into the depths of dejected lovers
my keys were shattered
her hands tainted with shards of soul

(May you never have a days worth of peace)

As a signed musician I typically find poems about music dull and lacking substance- but YOU actually knew how to make it a blend of authentic, emotional and the narrative was gorgeous. I really enjoyed this. Your short stanzas are effective, and your work is layered and even. Incredibly well done, love.

Thank you for sharing
into the depths of dejected lovers
my keys were shattered
her hands tainted with shards of soul
(May you never have a days worth of peace)"

The feeling was strong and the flow was spot on.
It had a sense of creativity and it was unlike any poem I've ever read.
It was captivating and had me hooked from start to finish.
You are a very talented author/writer.
Keep up the incredible work!

Your friend,

It was very clear, love. Your voice is deliberate and effective, :)
Powerful imagery of words on music, player and the listener. I couldn't have done it myself and I admire the crescendo of love and the trough of heartbreak that has been so deftly portrayed in this piece. Admirable talent seen in this poem.

Look forward to reading other works by you.

Best,
M.
